币界网报道：Although China, Indonesia, Russia and other countries have banned retail crypto payments, legal experts point out that there is still a legal gray area for their residents to use cryptocurrencies to pay for overseas services. After the Georgian travel company Tripzy opened a USDT payment channel through CityPay in June 2025, Russian and Turkish tourists can use stablecoins to book services across borders, and the laws of both countries do not explicitly prohibit such behavior. A partner of the Turkish Paldimoglu law firm said that its "Regulations on the Prohibition of Crypto Asset Payments" only binds 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, overlapping laws have caused regulatory risks, and experts warn that such transactions may be regarded as "loopholes to circumvent sanctions" by Europe and the United States. The latest report of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) shows that the proportion of illegal transactions involving stablecoins has risen to 50% since 2024, including North Korean hackers and terrorist financing. The agency announced that it will release a special assessment report on stablecoin anti-money laundering in Q1 2026. [ChainCatcher]
