币界网报道:North Korean IT workers are reportedly using USDC stablecoin payments to bypass international sanctions, according to blockchain analytics firm TRM Labs. These workers, often posing as freelancers from other countries, receive salaries in USDC through platforms like Binance and OKX. TRM Labs identified over $2 million in USDC transactions linked to North Korean operatives between June 2023 and June 2024. The stablecoin's traceability raises concerns that Pyongyang may be exploiting crypto payments to fund prohibited activities. US authorities have previously sanctioned entities facilitating North Korea's crypto transactions.
