Pasar saham Asia merosot pada Jumat (14/11) menyusul aksi jual di Wall Street, setelah pejabat The Fed mengisyaratkan kehati-hatian terkait pemangkasan suku bunga. Bitcoin terpelanting di bawah US$100.000 untuk ketiga kalinya bulan ini, mencerminkan kecemasan pasar yang lebih luas.

Per pukul 5:00 am UTC, Nikkei Jepang turun 1,73% ke 50.392, sementara KOSPI Korea Selatan turun 3% ke 4.045,44. Hang Seng Hong Kong merosot 1,13% ke 26.767 seiring meningkatnya aksi jual regional. Sementara itu, S&P/ASX Australia ikut melemah 1,44% ke 8.627,5.

Sentimen Pasar Berubah Hati-Hati

Aksi jual dipicu oleh komentar hawkish The Fed yang meredam harapan pemangkasan suku bunga pada Desember. Trader kini hanya melihat peluang 51% terjadinya pemotongan, turun dari 63% sebelumnya.

Bitcoin kembali terjun bebas di bawah level psikologis US$100.000 di tengah tekanan jual yang terus bergulir di pasar spot, sementara ETH turun 8,33% dalam 24 jam terakhir. Kedua aset kripto ini kesulitan bangkit dari flash crash Oktober yang memicu likuidasi rekor. Open interest Binance Futures masih tertekan di US$9 miliar, jauh di bawah puncak Oktober di US$12 miliar.

Menambah beban pasar kripto, muncul laporan mengenai potensi regulasi Jepang yang menargetkan perusahaan treasury crypto. Japan Exchange Group, pengelola Tokyo Stock Exchange, disebut-sebut memberi sinyal adanya pengawasan regulator. Kabar ini makin mendinginkan sentimen investor di aset digital.

Pasar derivatif belum pulih dari proses deleveraging besar-besaran pada Oktober. Lambatnya arus masuk modal menunjukkan trader masih bersikap defensif. Pelaku pasar kini menunggu data ekonomi AS termasuk penjualan ritel.

Nada pejabat The Fed mencerminkan kekhawatiran inflasi meski pasar berharap pelonggaran. Neel Kashkari dari The Fed Minneapolis menentang pemotongan bulan lalu. Beth Hammack dari Fed Cleveland menegaskan kebijakan moneter masih perlu bersifat restriktif.

Ketidakpastian ini menekan aset berisiko secara global. Emas turun 0,6% semalam sementara minyak mengalami penurunan mingguan ketiga berturut-turut. Dolar melemah meski imbal hasil naik, menunjukkan dinamika lintas-aset yang kompleks.

France has officially lifted all travel restrictions on Telegram founder Pavel Durov as of November 13, 2025, bringing to an end a year of mandatory police check-ins and movement restrictions. The dual French-Russian citizen, detained in Paris in August 2024, can now cross borders freely without judicial oversight.

This development is pivotal in an ongoing criminal investigation that could lead to Durov facing up to 10 years in prison and fines of over $550,000.

From Detention to Freedom: Timeline of Durov’s Legal Restrictions

Durov’s legal troubles began when authorities arrested him at Paris’s Le Bourget Airport in August 2024. The charges involved allegations that Telegram enabled organized crime due to insufficient content moderation. French prosecutors accused the platform of refusing to cooperate in tackling illegal content, with a particular focus on child sex abuse material.

Initially, Durov was barred from leaving France and had to report regularly to the police in Nice. Over several months, the restrictions eased, permitting short, controlled trips to the United Arab Emirates for no more than two weeks. However, he remained under French jurisdiction until now.

According to France 24, Durov complied with all requirements for one year before authorities lifted both travel and judicial restrictions. As a result, mandatory police check-ins and all geographic limitations on his movement were eliminated.

Durov faced three interrogations by French authorities. His lawyers consistently challenged the investigation’s legitimacy and methods, arguing that they violated both domestic and European law.

Criminal Investigation Remains Active as Restrictions End

Although Durov is free to travel, the criminal investigation is ongoing. French authorities are examining Telegram’s alleged role in facilitating illicit transactions, the distribution of child sex abuse imagery, and enabling illegal content. The charges focus on complicity in organized crime rather than direct involvement.

The case portrays Telegram as a platform vulnerable to criminal misuse because of its limited content moderation. During questioning in December 2024, Durov acknowledged growing criminal abuse on Telegram and promised stronger oversight. The platform has since introduced additional moderation tools.

Telegram implemented advanced AI-powered moderation systems in early 2024, according to company documentation. In 2025, the platform reported blocking more than 34 million groups and channels, demonstrating increased enforcement. These steps address frequent criticism that Telegram enables criminal networks.

Despite compliance efforts, Durov still faces the risk of 10 years imprisonment and fines up to $550,000 if convicted. The investigation could set key precedents for platform accountability in Europe, especially for encrypted messaging services popular within cryptocurrency communities.

Durov Criticizes French Authorities, Voices Free Speech Concerns

During the investigation, Durov has publicly criticized French authorities and expressed concerns regarding government overreach. He accused prosecutors of procedural errors and argued that his arrest harmed France’s reputation as a supporter of freedom. Durov has characterized the proceedings as an attack on free speech and encryption.

His defense argues that Telegram acts as a neutral platform, not a vehicle for crime. Durov has positioned himself as a defender of privacy and free expression, standing against what he considers European censorship. This view has resonated with cryptocurrency and privacy advocates who regard encrypted communications as vital to digital freedom.

Social media reactions to the removal of the travel ban have been positive among Durov’s supporters. Nevertheless, the broader legal implications are unresolved. Both Paris prosecutors and Durov’s legal team declined public comment on the current status, so questions about trial timing and outcomes remain.

The case underscores ongoing tensions between privacy-focused tech platforms and regulatory enforcement. As France’s investigation continues, its outcome could influence the regulation of messaging services and platform accountability for user content across Europe. For now, Durov’s restored freedom of movement represents a partial win, yet the legal dispute is far from settled.
