ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, although countries like China, Indonesia, and Russia prohibit retail crypto payments, legal experts point out that residents in these countries still operate in a legal gray area when using cryptocurrencies to pay for overseas services. After the Georgian travel company Tripzy opened a USDT payment channel through CityPay in June 2025, tourists from Russia and Turkey can book services across borders using stablecoins, as neither country's laws explicitly prohibit such actions.A partner at the Turkish law firm Paldimoglu stated that their "Regulation on the Prohibition of Payments in Crypto Assets" only restricts local licensed institutions; the founder of Russia's D&A CryptoMap also confirmed that the country's laws do not restrict overseas crypto payments. However, legal overlaps pose regulatory risks, and experts warn that such transactions may be viewed by the West as a "loophole for evading sanctions."The latest report from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) shows that as of 2024, the proportion of illegal transactions involving stablecoins has risen to 50%, including those related to North Korean hackers and terrorism financing. The agency announced that it will release a special assessment report on anti-money laundering for stablecoins in Q1 2026.

After completing a $1.3 billion convertible bond issuance in May, the company first spent approximately $500 million to acquire 4,710 Bitcoins.

In the coming days, brokerages such as CICC and GF Securities will also hold conference calls related to stablecoins.

The Hong Kong SAR government's office in Shanghai recently published an article on its public account stating that the "Bill" is expected to take effect within this year. In the future, anyone issuing fiat-backed stablecoins in Hong Kong during business operations must apply for a license from the Financial Management Commissioner, and only fiat-backed stablecoins issued by licensed issuers can be sold to retail investors.

Nabiullina called for increased legal accountability for the use of cryptocurrencies for payments within Russia, stating: "Our position has not changed. We cannot allow cryptocurrencies to penetrate domestic monetary circulation and domestic settlements. We suggest seeking investment opportunities in cryptocurrencies while increasing the responsibility for using cryptocurrencies in domestic settlements." Nabiullina also supports allowing "high-net-worth qualified investors" to invest in crypto assets within the "sandbox" and proposed discussing the extension of some derivative investment permissions to ordinary qualified investors. She emphasized the need to protect retail investors from the risks posed by the highly volatile crypto market.Furthermore, after Nabiullina's speech, Anatoly Aksakov, chairman of the State Duma's Financial Market Committee, pointed out that there are still differences in Moscow regarding cryptocurrency regulation.
