Report: 61% of stolen cryptocurrencies in 2024 were stolen by hackers linked to North Korea, involving $1.34 billion
According to ChainCatcher, citing Techcrunch, a Chainalysis report released on Thursday showed that this year, the total value of stolen cryptocurrencies surged 21% to $2.2 billion, of which more than half was stolen by hacker groups associated with North Korea. In 2024, hackers associated with North Korea stole 61% of the total amount stolen that year in 47 cases, worth $1.34 billion; in 2023, they stole $660.5 million in 20 cases, and in 2022, they stole $400 million. This shows that they are increasingly involved in these attacks.The report highlights that most cryptocurrency hacks this year occurred between January and July, with the amount stolen exceeding $1.58 billion, which is about 84.4% higher than the same period in 2023. After July, the upward trend slowed down significantly, which is very different from 2021 and 2022, which may be due to geopolitical issues.

Why does the country prohibit trading cryptocurrencies, while Sun Yuchen can go unpunished!
Why doesn’t the state allow cryptocurrency trading? It’s like parents not letting children play with fire, fearing they might get burned. The state is concerned about the safety of the financial market, afraid that everyone will go too crazy trading cryptocurrencies, and when they lose money, they will complain to the state. So, the state simply says, don't trade, to avoid trouble. As for why Sun Yuchen hasn’t been arrested, that’s hard for us to say, because we are not police or judges, and we cannot make random claims without evidence. But remember one thing: as long as no one breaks the law, they won’t be arrested. Trading cryptocurrencies is like buying a lottery ticket; you might win a big prize, or you might end up with nothing. The state forbids trading, but if you insist on trading, then the profits are yours, and if you lose, you have to bear it yourself. This is similar to buying a house; if the price goes up, you are happy, and if it goes down, you can't blame the developer. Some people made money investing in Sun Yuchen's projects, while others lost money. Those who made money don’t say anything, and those who lost are unhappy. This is like housing prices; when prices go up, everyone is happy, but when they fall, some people cause trouble. If you are willing to take risks in the cryptocurrency market, you must be prepared to bear the consequences. Don’t cry to the state for help when you lose money; the state can’t help you either. The state prohibits cryptocurrency trading because it is concerned about everyone’s safety. But is the cryptocurrency market a scam? That’s hard to say. Many countries in the world support virtual currencies, indicating that they still have value. We must see its benefits, but also be cautious of the problems it might bring. Blockchain technology is recognized by everyone; it is the core technology of the cryptocurrency market. Without the cryptocurrency market, blockchain technology might not have developed so quickly. The decentralized nature of blockchain requires an incentive mechanism, which is the currency, to encourage more people to participate. In short, if you invest in the cryptocurrency market, you need to be careful and not expect others to help you. Investing involves risks, and you should be cautious when entering the market. Don’t blindly follow trends, and don’t blame this or that because you lost money. You need to take care of your own money.

In China, the regulatory attitude towards virtual currencies has always been very clear and strict.

During his operation, Liao made an illegal profit of 90,000 yuan and provided the studio with eight mobile phones and eight computers as tools for committing crimes.

Why did the country ban cryptocurrency speculation, but Justin Sun was not arrested?
Cryptocurrency speculation is not illegal, and everyone should have a clear understanding of this.
Why is it that cryptocurrency speculation is prohibited in China, but Justin Sun has not been arrested, and instead is thriving on social media?
First of all, they have money that you don't have, a top legal team that you don't have, connections that you don't have, and so on. In short, they have what you have, and they also have what you don't have. So there is no comparison between you and them. Let's not compare our personal situation with that of the big guys. Don't you think this is the truth?
In addition, many people think that cryptocurrency trading is illegal. Because it is prohibited in China. Some people think that in this respect, it is the same as gambling. Gambling is prohibited in China, so if you gamble, you are breaking the law and the police can arrest you. But have you ever thought about it? If I find out that you are trading in cryptocurrency, because cryptocurrency trading is prohibited in China, I will report you and let the police arrest you?

A friend who has worked in the banking industry for ten years told me how to avoid card freezing: 1. After you withdraw money, that is, after someone transfers money to your bank card, do not transfer it or use it immediately, as this may trigger the bank's risk control and the bank will regard you as swiping the order. 2. It is best to avoid transfers on non-working days, that is, it is best to avoid frequent transfers at night, as this will be captured by the bank's risk control system and regarded as online gambling. 3. It is best to find a fixed merchant to withdraw money, and use the company account. It is best to have a fixed time, such as the 15th of each month or the end of each month, so that the bank will regard you as salary income. 4. If you frequently switch merchants and large amounts may be frozen for a long time, small amounts will be unfrozen within 2-3 working days if evidence is provided, and 7 working days if no evidence is provided. 5. Secondly, when transferring money, do not try with a small amount, that is, after someone transfers money to WeChat or Alipay, try with a small amount (less than 100) 6. If you are frozen, bring your identity and bank card to the corresponding counter to unfreeze, and explain the unknown account clearly. $BTC #纳斯达克100指数宣布纳入微策略
After making millions from cryptocurrency trading, how to safely exchange virtual currency for RMB?
After making 10 million yuan through cryptocurrency trading, you can't help but feel ecstatic, eager to turn this virtual wealth into real cash. With the DeFi market heating up, you begin to look for ways to exchange USDT for RMB. Among various options, you choose a seemingly reliable vendor and reach a trading agreement with them.
Following the agreed process, you transfer USDT to the designated trading platform. Once the vendor transfers RMB to your account, you confirm the release of the coins, and the exchange will then transfer the virtual currency to the other party. At first glance, this process seems very safe, but it actually hides significant risks—whether the money the vendor gives you is legally sourced, you have no way of knowing.
$BTC $VANA $DOGE If Bitcoin really reaches 1 million US dollars per coin, what will be the impact on those who have never participated in Bitcoin?
To put it simply, not having Bitcoin is equivalent to paying taxes to those who own Bitcoin.
The legal currency is infinitely issued and depreciates continuously; the total amount of Bitcoin is constant, and as long as the legal currency is issued, it will continue to appreciate. In summary, legal currency has no lower limit, and Bitcoin has no upper limit.
The result is that the legal currency that people work hard for is slowly depreciating, while the Bitcoin in the hands of Bitcoin holders is constantly appreciating. From a certain perspective, it can also be said that people who do not have Bitcoin are working and paying taxes for Bitcoin holders. Bitcoin versus legal currency, this is a war game without gunpowder, and it has already started. No matter who you are, whether you know it or not, or whether you care or not, you have actively or passively participated in this game.
Bitcoin, which is already priced at $100,000 per coin, has been missed by many people. However, in addition to Bitcoin, there are also memecoins in the currency circle. For most people, copycats are more likely to turn over, especially in the primary market, especially memecoin. You can pay attention to the primary Ethereum chain.
