🇰🇭 POLICY: Crypto scammers can now face up to 5 years behind bars in Cambodia.

Huione Pay Users Are Screwed At least 80 customers showed up at Cambodia's National Bank on Friday demanding their frozen funds back. One guy has $60,000 stuck. Another has $170,000. NBC's response? We can't recognize you as creditors. Go file a complaint with the court. Huione promised installment repayments. Never paid a cent. Rebranded to H-Pay. Then went silent. NBC revoked the license in September 2024 but kept it quiet for over a year, only telling customers in December 2025. People's money just sat there while nobody said a word. kiripost.com/stories/huione…

🚨 BREAKING: THE European Central Bank HAS FORMALLY REJECTED Bitcoin FROM ITS FRAMEWORK. Christine Lagarde STATES IT FAILS TO MEET BASIC STANDARDS FOR SAFETY AND SECURITY. SHE EVEN LINKED IT TO ILLICIT ACTIVITY — LOUD AND CLEAR. THE EU JUST FIRED A DIRECT SHOT AT CRYPTO 🚫🇪🇺

We are now facing the biggest global energy crisis in history: Total oil product exports from the Middle East plunged -63% in March, or -4.8 million barrels per day, to ~2.8 million barrels per day. Of the remaining ~2.8 million barrels per day still being exported, ~1.1 million barrels per day, or 39%, is flowing through Saudi Arabia's Red Sea ports, bypassing the shut Strait of Hormuz. Jet fuel was hit the hardest, with exports plunging -85%, triggering flight cancellations and fuel shortages across Asia-Pacific. At the same time, LPG and naphtha exports dropped by -1.0 million barrels per day. Diesel, gasoline, and fuel oil exports also fell sharply, with declines ranging from -60% to -70%. The Strait of Hormuz crisis is in full-swing.

The memecoin season ran out of buyers, not tokens. I was shocked to see these 2 charts contradicting each other. New token launches are near all-time highs, while active traders keep declining. Thousands of tokens are launching daily into a market that lost almost all its participants. This imbalance produces side effects: → Liquidity gets split across hundreds of tokens → Launches struggle to stay afloat → Narratives die faster because attention cycles have gotten shorter Fewer traders = less money coming in = low volume →= harder PvP for smaller returns At the mid-2025 peak, Solana alone had 30M+ active wallets. It's brutal for traders trying to time this.

JUST IN: 🇷🇺🇮🇷 Russia evacuates more staff from Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant.

The IAEA has been informed by Iran that a projectile struck close to the premises of the Bushehr NPP this morning, the fourth such incident in recent weeks. Iran also informed the IAEA that one of the site’s physical protection staff members was killed by a projectile fragment and that a building on site was affected by shockwaves and fragments. No increase in radiation levels was reported. IAEA DG @rafaelmgrossi expresses deep concern about the reported incident and says NPP sites or nearby areas must never be attacked, noting that auxiliary site buildings may contain vital safety equipment. Reiterating call for maximum military restraint to avoid risk of a nuclear accident, DG Grossi again stresses the paramount importance of adhering to the 7 pillars for ensuring nuclear safety and security during a conflict.

More follow the money - this time re: the #IRGC and #Tether This is dense #crypto info but worth reading because it offers a fascinating insight into/map of cryptocurrency flows and freezes on its way to fund a war. #USDT

BREAKING: The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is funding a war against the United States using a digital token called United States Dollar Tether. The token is pegged to the American dollar. It tracks the dollar. It references the dollar. But it moves on the Tron blockchain in three seconds flat, never touches an American bank, never clears through SWIFT, never passes through New York, and cannot be frozen by the Federal Reserve. The dollar’s name is on the weapon pointed at the dollar’s military. This is the first war in history where the enemy’s own currency funds both sides simultaneously. Bloomberg reported on April 1 that the IRGC collects tolls from tankers transiting the Strait of Hormuz in Chinese yuan or stablecoins. The mechanism is now documented. An operator contacts an IRGC-linked intermediary. Submits vessel ownership, flag, cargo, crew list, and destination. The Hormozgan Provincial Command screens for ties to the United States or Israel using a one-to-five friendliness ranking. If cleared, the operator negotiates a toll starting at one dollar per barrel, up to two million per supertanker. Payment settles in yuan via CIPS or USDT via Tron. A VHF passcode is issued. An IRGC patrol boat escorts the vessel through the Larak corridor. The system is live. It is collecting revenue tonight. The infrastructure was not improvised. The IRGC moved $3 billion through cryptocurrency in 2025 alone, according to Chainalysis. IRGC-linked addresses accounted for over 50 percent of all Iranian crypto by the fourth quarter of that year. The Central Bank of Iran accumulated $507 million in USDT, according to Elliptic. TRM Labs traced approximately $1 billion in IRGC flows through two UK-registered exchanges, Zedcex and Zedxion, “conducted almost entirely in USDT on the TRON blockchain.” TRM described this as “a sanctioned military organization operating exchange-branded crypto infrastructure offshore” and called it “infrastructure-level control.” OFAC designated both exchanges on January 30, 2026. Twenty-nine days later the bombs fell. The crypto war machine was built before the kinetic war began. In January 2026, Iran’s Ministry of Defence began accepting cryptocurrency for arms exports. Drones. Missiles. Defence equipment. The same blockchain rails that settled weapons contracts before the war now settle passage rights during it. The toll booth at Hormuz did not need new technology. It needed a new application of technology that was already running at industrial scale, already embedded in global stablecoin markets, and already funded with half a billion dollars in a token denominated in the currency of the enemy. The Treasury Department issues bonds to fund the war. Those bonds pay for aircraft carriers, interceptors, and the 2,400 sorties flown over Iran in five weeks. USDT, a token that says “USD” on its face, pays the tolls that fund the missiles those sorties are trying to destroy. The same three letters appear on both sides of the ledger. One moves through the Federal Reserve system. The other moves through a blockchain registered in the British Virgin Islands. Both settle in seconds. Both denominate in dollars. One funds the bombs. The other funds the toll that funds the missiles that the bombs exist to stop. The currency is fighting itself across two rails that will never intersect, and the IRGC is collecting the arbitrage. The dollar is on both sides of this war. It always has been. What changed is that one side no longer needs American permission to use it. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

Global food prices are rising as energy costs spike: The World Food Price Index jumped +2.4% in March, to 128.5 points, the highest since September 2025. This index tracks the cost of grains, sugar, meat, dairy, and vegetable oils globally. This marks the 2nd consecutive monthly increase, after February ended a 5-month streak of declines. Surging energy and freight costs, along with disrupted flows of grains and fertilizers through the Strait of Hormuz, are the major drivers. The energy crisis is spreading into food.
