Susan Spence, Chair of the ISM Manufacturing Survey, noted that while business leaders are interested in reducing capital costs, tariffs are casting a shadow over these efforts.

According to PANews, StarkWare CEO and Zcash co-founder Eli Ben-Sasson recently shared insights from his first conversation with Strategy founder and executive chairman Michael Saylor on the X platform. The discussion centered on Starknet's mission to advance the Bitcoin economy and the topic of privacy. Saylor expressed his belief that Bitcoin should not incorporate privacy features similar to those of Zcash, as this could provide sovereign states with a reason to ban it. Ben-Sasson disagreed, suggesting that it is possible to balance privacy protection while allowing key visibility. The conversation also touched on OP_CAT, with Saylor expressing concerns about making changes too rapidly. Ben-Sasson countered this view, arguing that OP_CAT has been extensively debated and researched over the past decade, and further delays are unnecessary.

According to ChainCatcher, the Indian Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has raised concerns in its '2024-25 India Smuggling Report' about the increasing use of cryptocurrencies and stablecoins in drug and gold smuggling operations. The report highlights that digital assets, due to their decentralized, anonymous, and borderless nature, offer smuggling groups faster anonymous settlements, minimal regulation, and weak anti-money laundering compliance. A case uncovered by the DRI revealed that an international gold smuggling syndicate laundered over $12.7 million through hawala networks and USDT.
