Earlier this week, police in the Indian state of Kerala arrested Aleksej Besciokov for his involvement in the Garantex exchange and soon will face the charges in the United States.
The use of crypto assets to facilitate the Russian oil trade business will have a profound effect on their market outlook. More countries that have been sanctioned by the United States and Western countries will follow in the same direction.

Consequently, the rising demand for Bitcoin and Ethereum will fuel the underlying macro-bullish outlook.
