China’s Ministry of State Security linked crypto to money laundering, cyberattacks and espionage in an article published on 28 September. The ministry said foreign intelligence agencies send spy funds in crypto and tell recruits it is hard to trace, a claim it rejected because every transaction stays on a public ledger. The warning follows a February notice from the People’s Bank of China and seven other agencies that reaffirmed the crypto ban and extended it to tokenised real-world assets. China’s Ministry of State Security warned that crypto has become a tool for money launderers, ransomware gangs and foreign spies. The…

The board also granted waivers for unmet performance criteria tied to Bitcoin accumulation after authorities took corrective measures and renewed their commitments.Those waivers keep financing flowing despite earlier breaches, while leaving the program’s direction on Bitcoin unchanged.

India’s crypto users send substantial value to centralized exchanges, but domestic platforms receive just 0.7% of exchange value in Chainalysis’s new regional report. Its Brazil chapter puts Brazil-based exchanges at 12.5% of inflows.The contrast separates two business questions that adoption figures can blur: how much activity is associated with a country, and how much its domestic platforms capture. India’s transaction withholding can reduce the cash available for another trade. Its role in venue choice remains an operator explanation, rather than a measured cause of the split.The findings appeared in Chainalysis’s CSAO chapter on Sept. 30 and Latin America chapter on…
