最新报道：According to a Bloomberg report on October 9th, Chainalysis research indicates that over $75 billion in cryptocurrency assets linked to illicit activity, held "on-chain," and within reach of global law enforcement agencies, may be emulating the United States in seizing and storing them for reserves. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant stated in August that the United States has so far confiscated approximately $15 billion to $20 billion worth of Bitcoin. Chainalysis found that by 2025, illicit entities held nearly $15 billion in on-chain balances, while downstream wallets (where at least 10% of funds are criminal) held over $60 billion. Darknet market administrators and vendors controlled over $40 billion in cryptocurrencies. Of the $15 billion held directly by illicit actors, Bitcoin accounted for approximately 75%. This, combined with Ethereum and stablecoins, represents a 359% surge compared to five years ago. Similarly, downstream wallets saw a compound annual growth rate of over 200% for darknet-related wallets. However, whether authorities can access this $75 billion is in doubt. Although law enforcement agencies have significantly increased their efforts to combat cryptocurrency crime in recent years, the skills, international cooperation and funding required to identify, track and confiscate criminals' digital assets remain a challenge.
