Digital assets have become a relevant actor in international trade, and now even BRICS, the bloc helmed by countries like Russia, India, and China, have started eyeing them to be part of their financial structure. Russian Minister Anton Siluanov referred to the possible role that digital financial assets would play in the upcoming trade reality of the BRICS bloc and, by extension, in the world’s trade finance operations. Quoted by TASS, the official Russian news outlet, Siluanov said digital financial assets were part of the arsenal that would fuel BRICS trade. He stated: We are considering our various financial innovations on the BRICS floor, including the cross-border payment system that can be based, further to bilateral settlements, on national currencies with consideration of digital technologies and digital financial assets. Siluanov remarked on the relevance of creating innovative payment structures for the future of BRICS trade. “The buildup of the financial infrastructure is very important for the development of trade and economies of our countries,” he assessed. Digital financial assets (DFA) broadly include cryptocurrencies and other assets, including tokenized gold or other metals with a distinct issuer. Russia has been preparing to use DFA in international trade since last year, when President Vladimir Putin signed a law that allowed their use for international payments. Nonetheless, leveraging them for domestic payments is still forbidden.

This is a new system design,” he noted back in October. Read more: BRICS Payment System a SWIFT Substitute? Network to Implement Digital Assets and Financial Messages In March, Chairman of the Russian State Duma Committee on the Financial Market Anatoly Aksakov also referred to the possibilities DFA would bring to the country’s trade settlements: “It’s quite possible that this will be a serious channel to replace fiat currencies in international transactions,” he concluded.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) disclosed on March 27 that it is pursuing civil forfeiture of approximately $23 million in digital assets following a guilty plea from Gotbit Consulting LLC and its founder, Aleksei Andriunin. The DOJ’s move follows criminal proceedings where the Boston-based federal court accepted Gotbit’s admission of manipulating trading activity on behalf of cryptocurrency clients. The firm, which operates as a market maker in the digital asset sector, allegedly engaged in schemes to fabricate trading volumes, misleading investors about liquidity and demand. As part of its resolution with the federal government, Gotbit agreed to surrender the crypto holdings linked to these activities. In its announcement, the DOJ stated: The government seized USDT (tether) and USDC (circle) from un-hosted cryptocurrency wallets controlled by Gotbit Consulting LLC. Tether and circle are stablecoins, meaning their value is tied to the U.S. dollar. The government claims the assets represent proceeds of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud, as well as property involved in unlawful transactions. These allegations are currently part of a civil forfeiture complaint and have not been adjudicated. Andriunin, a 26-year-old dual citizen of Russia and Portugal, was arrested abroad in October 2024 and extradited to the U.S. in February 2025. Prosecutors said that between 2018 and 2024, Gotbit operated a wash trading scheme, using custom-built software and multiple accounts to simulate trading activity and manipulate token prices. Tokens such as Robo Inu and Saitama, which were among Gotbit’s clients, are now under separate investigation. As part of the plea deal, Gotbit agreed to shut down all operations and forfeit the $23 million. The DOJ stated: “Pursuant to the plea agreement with Andriunin, the government will recommend a sentence of up to two years in prison.” 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

Hashkey Group, in collaboration with Bosera, has successfully launched the world’s first tokenized money market exchange-traded fund (ETF) after securing approval from Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission (SFC). This development represents a major advancement in merging blockchain technology with traditional financial assets. According to the announcement on Hashkey’s X handle, the ETF powered by Hashkey Chain leverages asset tokenization to enhance transparency and liquidity, making it a more efficient investment vehicle. “Bringing money market ETFs on-chain through blockchain technology is a crucial step for traditional finance to embrace Web3,” said Dr. Xiao Feng, Chairman and CEO of Hashkey Group. The first set of ETFs to be launched is the Bosera HKD Money Market ETF and the Bosera USD Money Market ETF. As a compliance-first blockchain platform, Hashkey Chain provides the technical foundation for secure and regulated tokenized assets. Ms. Lian Shaodong, Chairman and CEO, Bosera Asset Management, said, “This issuance is our latest product in the Web 3.0 sector, after our Virtual Asset Spot ETF, and we hope to create value for investors.” The administrators and custodians of the Money Market ETFs are CMB Wing Lung (Trustee) Limited and BOCI-Prudential Trustee Limited, offering fund administration services, which are essential to successfully issuing tokenized shares of the products. This launch signals a growing acceptance of blockchain integration in traditional finance, setting a precedent for future tokenized financial products. By bridging digital and conventional asset management, Hashkey and Bosera are at the forefront of financial innovation in Hong Kong’s growing crypto industry. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

Cryptocurrency markets mirrored equities’ trajectory Friday, as leading U.S. benchmarks plunged abruptly ahead of the session’s end. A trifecta of forces – March’s consumer sentiment figures, new inflationary indicators, and renewed trade hostilities from the Trump administration – coalesced into a perfect storm of financial turbulence. The crypto economy’s valuation eroded 4.14% in 24 hours, settling at $2.73 trillion. Bitcoin commands 61% of this valuation yet plummeted to an intraday nadir of $83,544. The premier digital asset now wages a Sisyphean struggle to breach the $84,000 threshold. Global crypto trading volumes hover near $91.4 billion, with bitcoin seizing $31.53 billion of today’s activity. BTC/USD at 4:55 p.m. ET on March 28, 2025. The CFGI registers a “fear” rating of 33/100—a psychological barometer now firmly in frostier territory. BTC’s Friday top trading pairs were anchored by USDT, FDUSD, USD, USDC, and EUR. South Korea’s currency claimed the sixth position in BTC pairings. Upbit—South Korea’s premier trading venue—showed BTC at $85,113 at 4:45 p.m. ET, while global averages commanded $83,883. Coinglass data reveals $445.25 million in derivatives liquidations today, with BTC long positions absorbing $107 million. Bitcoin’s price gyrations now mirror Wall Street’s pulse, as macroeconomic ambiguity and geopolitical friction illustrate digital assets’ deepening entanglement with conventional finance. Though bitcoin’s market share and liquidity suggest latent fortitude, the CFGI’s “fear” designation betrays skittishness among traders navigating inflationary headwinds and regulatory pivots. Mass derivatives unwinding reveals an ecosystem maturing through adversity—where speculative excess contends with structural fragility, compelling participants to navigate increasingly complex financial riptides. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

Bitmex, a Seychelles-based crypto derivatives exchange launched in 2014, faced U.S. legal scrutiny in 2020 when prosecutors accused its founders of violating the Bank Secrecy Act. Authorities alleged that the platform operated without adequate anti-money laundering (AML) protocols, enabling anonymous trading that could facilitate illicit finance. The founders pleaded guilty in 2022, post-Trump’s first term, to willfully neglecting AML requirements. Hayes and Delo received probation and six-figure fines, while Reed accepted similar terms. A fourth executive, Gregory Dwyer, was convicted but not included in Trump’s pardon. The pardons, issued during Trump’s second term, eliminate the trio’s criminal records but do not reverse fines. No official explanation was provided, though the move aligns with Trump’s recent pro-crypto stance, including meetings with industry leaders and prior pardons for figures like Silk Road’s Ross Ulbricht. The pardon wave has also sparked speculation that Roger Ver—currently battling extradition to the U.S. over alleged tax violations—might benefit from a similar pardon Hayes, Delo, and Reed have not publicly commented. The pardons’ timing—a day before Trump’s reported policy announcements—fuels debate over their implications for crypto regulation and presidential clemency norms. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。
