According to The White House, the arrest of Diego Alexxey Portillo-Urbina, a Honduran national and confirmed 18th Street Gang member, by ICE Houston on February 1, 2025, may influence cryptocurrency trading patterns. Analysts suggest that gang-related activities often involve illicit transactions, including the use of cryptocurrencies for money laundering. Traders should remain vigilant to changes in transaction volumes and potential market irregularities as law enforcement actions could disrupt illegal financial networks.
