While Senate Considers Genius Act, Russian Is Charged With Stablecoin Laundering

Criminal charges against a Russian man who allegedly used stablecoins to help his countrymen evade U.S. sanctions highlight the concerns about the cryptocurrencies, just as Congress considers legislation to regulate and legitimize them. Iurii Gugnin, who went by George Goognin, started a fintech company called Evita to help customers move money across borders, including through the use of stablecoins. Through that network, prosecutors say, Gugnin helped foreign customers move roughly $530 million into cryptocurrency wallets and U.S. bank accounts, including from sanctioned Russian banks.

Zelensky says Orbán's support for Russia an 'historic mistake'

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has described the anti-Ukraine policies and messaging of right-wing populist Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán as an "historic mistake." In an interview with the Hungarian outlet Válasz Online published on Tuesday, Zelensky accused Orbán of using propaganda against Ukraine to seek a domestic political advantage. "He (Orbán) is using Ukraine for his own electoral purposes," the Ukrainian president aid. "He does not understand that this will have much more serious and dangerous consequences. By not helping us, he is doing (Russian President Vladimir) Putin a favour. That is why I said that Viktor is making a serious, historic mistake." For weeks, Orbán's government has been running a billboard campaign against aid for Ukraine and opposing the country's accession to the European Union. The campaign's main message is that aid for Ukraine would drag Hungary into war and damage the economy. The signs also feature portraits of Zelensky. "How can he use my face for his own election? I did not give him permission to do that!" Zelensky said. Zelensky also recalled that in early May this year, the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) arrested two Ukrainians of Hungarian ethnicity who are suspected of spying for the Hungarian military intelligence service KNBSZ. He said that further evidence had been found that had not yet been made public. In response, Hungary arrested a spy allegedly working for Ukraine who is also close to Hungarian opposition leader Peter Magyar. Hungary's - an EU and NATO member state - is scheduled to hold parliamentary elections in early 2026. Orbán, who has been in power since 2010, is under pressure because Magyar's new conservative Tisza party is well ahead in the polls.
