<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Crypto is being used to fund and pay for drones and components across Russia- and Iran-linked networks, according to Chainalysis.</li><li>Blockchain data is enabling visibility into procurement flows that would otherwise remain hidden.</li><li>Third-party platforms and intermediaries, such as Alibaba, reportedly facilitate indirect crypto purchases.</li></ul>Cryptocurrency is increasingly being used to finance drone procurement networks linked to Iran and Russia, according to&nbsp;Chainalysis.According to a&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.chainalysis.com/blog/cryptocurrency-drones-research/">report</a> from the blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis, the activity spanned both fundraising and direct procurement, with pro-Russia groups raising more than $8 million in crypto since 2022 and using part of those funds to buy drones and related equipment.The report explained that crypto was being used not just to collect donations but also to make purchases, often through intermediaries. In one case, transactions linked to a sanctioned Russian drone manufacturer, KB Vostok, showed repeated payments that closely matched the listed price of its drones. Researchers matched transactions ranging between $2,200 and $3,500 with the listed prices of drones and related components,<h2 class="st-heading-2">Intermediaries Add Layers To Procurement Chains</h2>Besides Russia, the report pointed to Iran-linked networks using crypto in procurement and payment flows, reflecting a broader shift among sanctioned actors toward alternative financial rails for cross-border transactions.Chainalysis also highlighted indirect channels. Electronics and dual-use component vendors selling through third-party platforms such as Alibaba, a Chinese e-commerce platform, accepted crypto payments, allowing buyers to buy drone parts while hiding their identities. These transactions often moved through over-the-counter brokers and exchanges, adding layers of complexity while still leaving an on-chain footprint. But blockchain data has made this transparent.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">Stablecoins Gain Traction In Real-World Payments</h2>The report also highlighted the growing role of stablecoins in such transactions, reflecting their utility for pricing and settling real-world purchases.

Oil Shock From Middle East Tensions Is Squeezing Bitcoin Miners, Raising Risks For Selling

Amidst rising tensions between the US and the Middle East, energy costs rose, and Bitcoin traded near the $ 68,000 level. 

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>On Saturday, macro analyst Garett Jin said that the U.S. debt, now over $39 trillion and rising interest costs, signaled a structural "plateau," making a debt-driven feedback loop more likely.</li><li>He said that geopolitical shocks, such as a disruption in Hormuz, could worsen inflation and deficits.</li><li>Jin said that the dollar would slowly lose value because people were losing faith in it and moving their money into gold and assets like Bitcoin.</li></ul>As concerns grow about the long-term viability of U.S. government debt, global capital flows, and the dollar's future position in the international financial system, macro investors are paying increasing attention.Garett Jin, a macro researcher known as a "crypto whale" who shorted Bitcoin (BTC) before the October&nbsp;black swan event last year, said in a Substack article on Saturday that the U.S. may be entering a fundamentally distinct phase of the debt cycle.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><a class="st-link-external" href="https://x.com/KobeissiLetter/status/2035364679598690471" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"><img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2026_03_21_at_1_33_55_PM_png_2aec3b5c78.webp" alt="Screenshot 2026-03-21 at 1.33.55 PM.png" width="780" height="1178"></a><figcaption>US debt reaches $39 trillion. Source: @<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/KobeissiLetter">KobeissiLetter</a>/x</figcaption></figure>The federal debt is now above $39 trillion, and the debt-to-GDP ratio is over 125%, the highest since World War II. Jin said that the U.S. dollar remains America's most important power but cautioned that this monetary supremacy is now under more structural threat.<h2 class="st-heading-2">The Compounding Interest&nbsp;</h2>He pointed out that the rate at which debt is growing is speeding up and is being driven more and more by structural expenditures and rising interest costs than by productive investment. Interest payments alone are approaching $1 trillion a year and are expected to exceed $2 trillion in the next ten years.Jin called this situation a "compound interest problem," where rates rise and debt increases. He <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/ray-dalio-says-bitcoin-market-small-next-to-gold-btc-price-climbs-to-69000/cZd9hEKRI5W">cited Ray Dalio's idea</a> of a "debt death spiral," in which higher interest rates, more borrowing, and less demand for government debt combine to drive a downward spiral.Jin argued that a disruption in the Strait of Hormuz could worsen macroeconomic risks by raising oil prices and causing inflation, thereby limiting the Federal Reserve's ability to adjust its policies. He added that this would worsen fiscal deficits and that the Treasury would have to issue more bonds, just as demand from other countries drops. Jin said that big economies are holding less U.S. debt and are more cautious after Russia's reserves were blocked.&nbsp;He also points out early signs of weakness in the petrodollar system, which might mean these changes will gradually erode the dollar's supremacy over time rather than cause an abrupt replacement.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Death Of The Dollar?</h2>According to Jin, the short-term "fear flows" into the dollar are driving the markets right now. However, over time, structural shifts such as a declining reserve share and changing trade settlement patterns might affect how capital is allocated worldwide.Jin said that the collapse of reserve currencies is not caused by a single alternative currency, but by a loss of “trust.” He said that central banks are increasing their holdings of gold and other currencies, and that new payment systems are being built on top of the current dollar infrastructure– signalling Bitcoin.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/coins/bitcoin">Bitcoin</a> was trading at $70,230, almost flat in the last 24 hours. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around BTC remained in the ‘bullish’ zone, as chatter levels remained at ‘low’ over the past day.<figure class="image"><img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/Screenshot_2026_03_21_at_1_31_42_PM_png_858db540e6.webp" alt="Screenshot 2026-03-21 at 1.31.42 PM.png" width="1130" height="120"><figcaption>BTC retail sentiment and message volume on March 21 as of 1:34 a.m. ET | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>He believed that this difference between short-term resilience and long-term structural change is giving investors chances in all types of assets, such as commodities and digital assets.Before the market crash on October 10, Jin was connected to a big whale that opened over $1.1 billion in Bitcoin shorts. When the market dropped in a black swan event, the positions made more than $80 million in profit in 24 hours–catching people's attention because of the trade's timing and size.Read also: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/black-rock-s-ethb-bucks-trend-as-other-ethereum-et-fs-see-outflows/cZ3iRRCRIiQ">BlackRock’s ETHB Bucks Trend As Other Ethereum ETFs See Outflows</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
