PANews reported on October 13th that Backpack founder Armani Ferrante posted on the X platform, stating that the past few days have been completely out of control, with some events being absurd and others understandable. The industry has been hit by the largest liquidation event in history, triggering a market crash. Many people were forced to liquidate their positions, and users are questioning issues such as automatic liquidation (ADL), negative equity, and compensation. He stated that he always provides thorough answers to all questions, encourages questions, and is responsible to users. Ferrante pointed out two recent waves of FUD: one was the issue of approximately 40 users depositing funds without settling their negative equity. While this issue is real and easily resolvable, it has been misinterpreted and disseminated; the other was the widespread dissemination of inappropriate posts from Backpack's Chinese account, X, which is operated by local personnel and does not represent the company's position. He acknowledged that the industry has exposed serious structural flaws in the market. Backpack's biggest problem is a lack of liquidity, and its weakness has always been the lack of its own in-house market maker. While all exchanges require forced liquidation and automatic liquidation mechanisms, Backpack should also minimize the occurrence of such incidents. There are various solutions to this problem, including circuit breakers and vaults. Ferrante emphasized that exchanges, as critical systems in the cryptocurrency space, deserve scrutiny, and that FUD can be an opportunity to reveal weaknesses as well as strengths.PANews reported on October 13th that Backpack founder Armani Ferrante posted on the X platform, stating that the past few days have been completely out of control, with some events being absurd and others understandable.

OFAC Designates Two Iranian Finance Facilitators For Crypto Shadow Banking

The Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned two Iranian financial facilitators for coordinating over $100 million worth of cryptocurrency in oil sales for the Iranian government, a September 16 press release shows. OFAC Sanctions Iranian Nationals According to the Tuesday press release, Iranian nationals Alireza Derakhshan and Arash Estaki Alivand “used a network of front companies in multiple foreign jurisdictions” to transfer the digital assets. OFAC alleges that Alivand and Derakhshan’s transfers also involved the sale of Iranian oil that benefited Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force (IRGC-QF) and the Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics (MODAFL). IRGC-QF and MODAFL then used the proceeds to support regional proxy terrorist organizations and strengthen their advanced weapons systems, including ballistic missiles. U.S. officials say the move targets shadow banking in the region, where illicit financial actors use overseas money laundering and digital assets to evade sanctions. “Iranian entities rely on shadow banking networks to evade sanctions and move millions through the international financial system,” said Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence John K. Hurley. “Under President Trump’s leadership, we will continue to disrupt these key financial streams that fund Iran’s weapons programs and malign activities in the Middle East and beyond,” he continued. Dozens Designated In Shadow Banking Scandal Both Alivand and Derakhshan have been designated “for having materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services to or in support of the IRGC-QF.” In addition to Alivand and Derakhshan, OFAC has sanctioned more than a dozen Hong Kong and United Arab Emirates-based entities and individuals tied to the network. According to the press release, the sanctioned entities may face civil or criminal penalties imposed as a result
