An Ethereum developer known as “Fede’s Intern” has been detained in Turkey amid allegations of helping users misuse the blockchain. The case has caused hesitations within the crypto community, however no actual charges have been validated at this moment.
June 13, 2025 marks a turning point in the Iran-Israel conflict. Massive Israeli strikes targeted the heart of the Iranian military infrastructure. Iran retaliated later that evening with 300 ballistic missiles, crossing a new threshold in this long-standing war.
The Middle East is currently undergoing a profound reconfiguration of its alliances and historical rivalries. The gradual collapse of the Syrian regime and the weakening of Iran are reshuffling the cards in an already unstable region. This new dynamic is bringing Turkey to the forefront as a regional expansionist power, potentially pushing Israel and certain Arab countries towards an unprecedented alliance.
The BRICS have been presenting themselves for several years as a credible alternative to hegemonic economic blocs such as the G7. In this context of increasing rivalries among powers, Russia has taken steps to expand this alliance. It then invited Saudi Arabia and Turkey to join its ranks. Moscow hoped to strengthen the bloc's influence on the international stage and to face the pressures from Western economies. However, these efforts encountered a rejection. This setback illustrates the divergent interests among these nations, as well as the challenges that the BRICS face in expanding their circle of influence in a world where geopolitical balances are becoming increasingly complex.
As the world redefines its economic and political alliances, Turkey inserts itself at the heart of global dynamics. In search of increased influence on the international stage, Ankara is now moving closer to the BRICS, this bloc of emerging nations that is establishing itself as a strategic counterbalance to traditional Western powers.

The world is undergoing a geopolitical reshaping. While tensions between major powers shape international relations, economic alliances are evolving at an unprecedented speed. At the heart of this new global order, BRICS, the bloc of major emerging economies, is asserting itself as a key player capable of reshaping global balances. This group, once reserved for five members, has recently opened up to new candidates, adding giants like Iran and Saudi Arabia to its ranks. It is in this context that Turkey, under the leadership of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, seeks to join this influential alliance. A strategic decision that comes at a time when the prospects of EU membership are fading, prompting Ankara to diversify its economic and geopolitical partnerships. However, this candidacy is not universally accepted: BRICS, still in the consolidation phase after its last expansion, may slow down before making new decisions. This is despite the growing interest of about twenty nations to join the group.
The new Western sanctions against Russia continue to expand their influence. This time, it is the Moscow-Ankara axis that is bearing the consequences. With billions of dollars in trade settlements at stake, the repercussions on exchanges between Russia and Turkey could be profound and lasting. In a context where Turkish banks are now under increased scrutiny from the United States, the future of transactions between these two economic giants is uncertain.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has just appointed Fatma Ozkul, a professor specialized in crypto assets and blockchain, to the monetary policy committee of the Turkish central bank.
