The hacking incident exacerbates U.S.-China tensions, complicating diplomatic efforts and reducing prospects for high-level engagements. The post Chinese hackers target Cuban embassy amid US-China tensions appeared first on Crypto Briefing.

Iran's largest cryptocurrency exchange, Nobitex, is linked to the influential Kharrazi clan, which has been part of the country's leadership circle for decades, according to an investigation by Reuters. The platform's founders are brothers Ali and Mohammad Kharrazi. To conceal their connection to the dynasty, they used the surname Agamir in corporate documents. The Kharrazi family is closely associated with Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The founders' grandfather was a member of the Assembly of Experts, and their father was involved in forming the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Nobitex accounts for the majority of crypto activities in Iran, with over 11 million users. The exchange continued operations even during internet shutdowns in the country. Analysts recorded transactions exceeding $100 million during periods of heightened regional conflicts. According to the report, the platform processed funds from sanctioned organizations. Estimates from analytical companies vary: Elliptic identified suspicious flows amounting to $366 million; Chainalysis estimated the volume at $68 million; Crystal Intelligence found $22 million in direct transfers from sanctioned wallets. In 2025, wallets linked to Iran's Central Bank transferred hundreds of millions of dollars to Nobitex. Experts view this as part of a strategy to circumvent financial sanctions. Nobitex representatives deny any government connections. They claim the share of illegal transactions in total trading volume is insignificant. Analysts Dispute Connection of Blocked USDT to Iran Experts from Nominis analyzed wallets recently sanctioned by the US. Their data suggests the funds may belong to state actors other than Iran. Last week, Tether, at the request of the US Treasury, blocked over $344 million in USDT. The department linked these addresses to IRGC activities. Nominis CEO Snir Levy noted that the behavior of these wallet owners differs from typical Iranian patterns. The IRGC usually distributes assets across multiple transit addresses with small balances and does not hold them for long. In this case, the transaction structure appears different. Levy suggested the infrastructure might belong to Chinese state entities or other foreign networks. In his view, standard monitoring methods are becoming outdated as major players continually change their blockchain usage strategies. The blockade was part of Operation Epic Fury. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the total amount of seized Iranian crypto assets reached $500 million. He said the campaign aims to exert maximum economic pressure on Tehran. Amid sanctions, Iran has entered a currency crisis. In December, one of the country's largest banks closed, and the national currency fell by 60–70% against the US dollar. In April, journalists reported on a new scheme of bitcoin extortion for passage through the Strait of Hormuz.

A Chinese court ruled that companies are not permitted to dismiss employees solely due to their replacement by artificial intelligence. The Intermediate People's Court of Hangzhou stated that a tech firm in eastern China unlawfully dismissed an employee after he refused a demotion linked to the automation of his job through AI. “The reason for dismissal does not fall under negative circumstances such as business downsizing or operational difficulties. It also does not meet the legal condition that makes the continuation of the employment contract impossible,” the court noted. Companies cannot unilaterally terminate employees or reduce salaries due to technological advancements, the court added. The employee, referred to in the case as Zhou, is a quality control specialist at a tech firm. He was responsible for verifying the accuracy of results produced by large language models. An AI system took over his role, prompting management to decide on a demotion and a 40% salary cut. Zhou refused the transfer, and the company dismissed him, citing staff reductions due to the implementation of neural networks. The case went to arbitration and then to the Chinese judicial system, which upheld the award of a compensation package. The decision is based on a precedent set by a Chinese court in December 2025, which ruled that the introduction of AI did not meet the necessary legal standards allowing a company to terminate employment contracts. Chinese companies are eager to implement AI systems as part of a national program to achieve leadership in artificial intelligence. Meanwhile, strategists of the Communist Party of China have expressed readiness to prioritize labor market stability amid slowing economic growth and high youth unemployment. Back in December, a Nobel laureate predicted a wave of unemployment due to AI in 2026.

• #bitcoin

On the morning of May 4, the price of the leading cryptocurrency rose to $80,500. A shift in the news landscape surrounding the conflict between the US and Iran was one of the growth drivers. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $79,900, having appreciated by 2.3% over the past 24 hours. Hourly chart of BTC/USDT on Binance. Source: TradingView. The price of Ethereum increased by nearly 3%, XRP by 1.9%, and BNB and Solana by 2.7% and 1.8%, respectively. Source: CoinMarketCap. The volume of liquidations in the crypto market reached $359.2 million over 24 hours, with more than $300 million attributed to short positions. Source: CoinGlass. According to Nick Rak, director of LVRG Research, the rise above $80,000 signifies a break from the resistance zone that had constrained Bitcoin over the weekend. “The swift breakthrough shifted the short-term momentum to a bullish stance and confirmed the strength of buyers after the previous pullback,” he noted. Dominic John, an analyst at Zeus Research, added that the market experienced a technical short squeeze: participants who had opened short positions at a strong threshold began closing them as the price rose, which amplified the upward momentum. Geopolitical Factor Positive news regarding the Middle East situation also influenced market dynamics. US President Donald Trump announced the launch of the Project Freedom initiative. The American side will ensure the passage of stranded merchant ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Simultaneously, the US leader reported “positive negotiations” with Tehran but warned that any obstruction to “Project Freedom” would meet with “resolute resistance.” Brent crude is trading around $107 per barrel, while WTI is at $101. Institutional Demand Another contributing factor is the American spot Bitcoin-ETFs. Inflows have continued for the fifth consecutive week. By the end of April, these instruments attracted $1.97 billion—the highest figure since October 2025. Source: SoSoValue.
