🇮🇱 The Israeli authorities have frozen 187 crypto wallets associated with Iran.

The Israeli Ministry of Defense announced the blocking of 187 addresses, through which $1,500,000,000 passed in #USDT.

At the time of confiscation, only $1,500,000 remained on the wallets, but the authorities believe that they were actively used by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran (IRGC).

Tether has already put 39 addresses on the «black list».

Earlier:

⊹ The United States confiscated ~$585,000 USDT from an Iranian associated with the IRGC drone program.

⊹ In 2024, Washington froze $332,000,000, which was sent to the Houthis in Yemen through the IRGC.

🐂 #ETH Ethereum forecast from Citigroup:

◽️Bullish scenario: $6400 by the end of the year.

◽️Base scenario: $4,300 by the end of the year.

◽️Bear scenario: $2200 by the end of the year.

Key theses:

• Network activity remains the main driver of ETH assessment, but growth mainly goes to L2, where the value for the base layer of Ethereum is doubtful.

• The bank believes that only 30% of L2 activity is reflected in the price of ETH.

• Ethereum can be supported by tokenization, stablecoins and inflows to ETFs.

• ETF inflows are smaller than BTC, but more efficient by the dollar. However, they are limited due to the lower capitalization and recognition of ETH.

🟢 The inflow of capital to American crypto-ETFs continues:

▪Bitcoin ETF: +$2,603,000,000 for 6 trading days (SV)
▪Ethereum ETF (#ETH): +$1,094,000,000 for 5 trading days.

🇺🇸The U.S. Congress started talking about banning CBDC again.

Republicans in the House of Representatives want to «sew» a clause to the bill on the market structure on the prohibition of the digital dollar from the Fed.

In July, the House had already adopted a separate Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act, but now it is proposed to be merged with the CLARITY bill.

If the document passes, it will go to the Senate, where Republicans promote their version - the Responsible Financial Innovation Act.

Senator Cynthia Lammis is confident that by the end of September the bill will be adopted by the committee and may become law as early as 2026.
