๐Ÿš€Buckle up, BTC enthusiasts! TRM Labs, a blockchain intelligence firm, has reported a whopping increase in cryptocurrency deposits to Chinese drug precursor manufacturers. In the first four months of 2024, crypto deposits more than doubled compared to the same period in 2023! ๐Ÿ’ฐ In 2023, these Chinese networks received over $26 million in cryptocurrency, with a staggering 97% of the 120 manufacturers studied offering payment options in digital currencies. The overall amount of cryptocurrency deposited into wallets linked to these manufacturers skyrocketed by more than 600% from 2022 to 2023. ๐Ÿ“ˆ And guess what? Bitcoin is the star of the show! ๐ŸŒŸ It remains the dominant cryptocurrency used for these transactions, accounting for approximately 60% of the total payment volume. TRON blockchain followed with about 30% of transactions, while Ethereum was used for roughly 6%. ๐ŸŽ–๏ธ Interestingly, 11 manufacturers were responsible for over 70% of all crypto-denominated sales of drug precursors. These manufacturers receive funds from unhosted wallets, cryptocurrency exchanges, and payment services, with their wallets most commonly hosted at exchanges. ๐Ÿ’ผ Despite the crypto preference, Chinese manufacturers also accept fiat currencies through platforms like PayPal, MoneyGram, Western Union, and traditional bank transfers. ๐Ÿฆ The report also revealed that these manufacturers mainly target countries including Canada, the Netherlands, Australia, Germany, and the United States. Advertisements have also been directed towards Russia and neighboring countries, particularly for mephedrone precursors. ๐ŸŒ In a related note, a U.S. congressional committee recently reported that the root cause of the U.S. fentanyl crisis lies in China, which manufactures over 97% of the precursors used in the global illicit fentanyl trade. ๐Ÿšจ So, while the world grapples with the implications of this, one thing's for sure - Bitcoin's popularity is soaring, and it's not slowing down anytime soon! ๐Ÿš€
