🇮🇷 Iran plans to launch a national internet with restricted access, limited to government-approved websites and services — from search engines and messaging apps to domestic streaming platforms, an “Iranian Netflix” of sorts.

According to The Guardian, this network would be largely isolated from the global internet and fully controlled by the authorities. Access to the outside world would remain available mainly through illegal Starlink terminals, whose use in the country carries serious, potentially life-threatening risks.

🇨🇳 In China, details have emerged in the case against Yao Qian — one of the architects of the digital yuan. The man allegedly kept hardware crypto wallets holding assets worth hundreds of millions of yuan in his office, relying on the supposed anonymity of cryptocurrencies.

Investigators found that in 2018 Yao Qian accepted a bribe of 2000 ETH for lobbying crypto projects. He converted part of the funds into cash and used them to purchase real estate in Beijing, registering the property in a relative’s name.

Authorities employed on-chain transaction analysis alongside traditional investigative methods. The official was expelled from the Communist Party of China and the case was referred to prosecutors, emphasizing that cryptocurrencies do not guarantee full anonymity — even in corruption schemes.
