比特幣（BTC）被非法交易中的Monero（XMR）等隱私硬幣取代

比特幣曾被認為是非法交易中的主要貨幣。但是，現在它被以隱私為中心的加密貨幣（例如Monero（XMR））取代

Bitcoin (BTC) is largely used by cybercriminals. But now, it is getting replaced by privacy-focused coins like Monero (XMR), Zcash (ZEC), Dash, and stablecoins.

比特幣（BTC）在很大程度上由網絡犯罪分子使用。但是現在，它被以隱私為重點的硬幣（例如Monero（XMR），Zcash（Zec），Dash和Stablecoins所取代。

According to TRM Labs, Bitcoin accounted for 97% of the total cryptocurrency volume associated with illegal activities in 2016. However, by 2022, this figure dropped to just 19%.

根據TRM Labs的數據，比特幣佔與2016年非法活動有關的總加密貨幣量的97％。但是，到2022年，該數字下降到僅為19％。

According to TRM Labs’s report, unlawful cryptocurrency activities involving Bitcoin will decrease to 12% by 2024. Tron (TRX) will have the largest volume with 58%.

根據TRM Labs的報告，到2024年，涉及比特幣的非法加密貨幣活動將減少到12％。 TRON（TRX）的體積最大，為58％。

Another report by Chainalysis revealed that stablecoins will make up the majority of the total illicit transaction volume with 63%, and the use of Bitcoin in unlawful activities will decline.

鏈分析的另一份報告表明，穩定幣將以63％的總數佔非法交易量的大部分，而在非法活動中使用比特幣將下降。

Earlier this year, one of the biggest Dark Web marketplaces, White House Market stopped accepting Bitcoin and will only be using Monero (XMR) for transactions.

今年早些時候，白宮市場是最大的黑暗網絡市場之一，不再接受比特幣，並且只會使用Monero（XMR）進行交易。

Announcing the change, the market admin said: “The Bitcoin workaround was supposed to be there just to help with transition to XMR and as we are concerned, it’s done, therefore we are now Monero only, just as planned.”

市場管理員宣布這一變化時說：“比特幣的解決方法應該在那裡只是為了幫助過渡到XMR，因此，我們已經完成了，因此我們現在只按計劃進行。”

Also, Elliptic researchers discovered $11 billion in illicit trades using USDT on Cambodia’s Huione Guarantee marketplace.

此外，橢圓研究人員在柬埔寨的Huione擔保市場上使用USDT發現了110億美元的非法交易。

Recently, Japanese law enforcement tracked Monero, leading to the country’s first arrest in an case that involved analysis of Monero transactions.

最近，日本執法部門追踪了蒙羅羅（Monero），導致該國首次被捕，涉及對Monero交易的分析。

The shift from Bitcoin to privacy coins and stablecoins in the Dark Web is a major trend.

從黑暗網絡中的比特幣轉變為隱私硬幣和穩定的轉變是一個主要趨勢。

Bitcoin is a transparent cryptocurrency, and every transaction can be tracked when combining with additional data like IP addresses or exchange records.

比特幣是一種透明的加密貨幣，在與IP地址或Exchange Records（Exchange Records）結合使用時，可以跟踪每個事務。

This transparency has enabled law enforcement agencies, such as the FBI, to use blockchain analytics tools from companies like Chainalysis and Elliptic to shut down major Dark Web markets. Some examples include the closure of Silk Road in 2013, AlphaBay in 2017, Hydra in 2022, and Incognito Market in 2024.

這種透明度使聯邦調查局（FBI）等執法機構能夠使用諸如鍊分析和橢圓形的公司的區塊鏈分析工具來關閉主要的黑暗網絡市場。一些例子包括2013年的絲綢之路，2017年的Alphabay，2022年的Hydra以及2024年的隱身市場。

Bitcoin also faces some technical challenges, such as high transaction fees and slow confirmation times.

比特幣還面臨一些技術挑戰，例如高交易費用和緩慢的確認時間。

However, privacy coins like Monero, Zcash, and Dash utilize advanced technologies to provide high levels of anonymity, rendering transactions nearly impossible to track.

但是，諸如Monero，Zcash和Dash之類的隱私硬幣利用高級技術來提供高水平的匿名性，從而使交易幾乎無法跟踪。

Recently, there has been a surge in interest in privacy coins. According to a recent study published in ScienceDirect, there is a close relation between privacy coins and Dark Web traffic, which contributes to the increasing use of privacy coins in illicit markets.

最近，人們對隱私硬幣的興趣激增。根據ScienceDirect發表的最新研究，隱私硬幣與黑暗網絡流量之間存在密切的關係，這有助於在非法市場中越來越多地使用隱私硬幣。

The shift from Bitcoin to privacy coins and stablecoins has implications for both the cryptocurrency industry and law enforcement.

從比特幣到隱私硬幣和穩定幣的轉變對加密貨幣行業和執法部門都有影響。

On a positive note, Bitcoin’s declining role in illegal activities could help improve its reputation as a legitimate financial tool. This could lead to greater adoption of Bitcoin by a wider range of users and investors.

從積極的角度來看，比特幣在非法活動中的作用下降可能有助於提高其作為合法財務工具的聲譽。這可能會導致更多的用戶和投資者對比特幣採用。

However, the increasing use of privacy coins and stablecoins in illicit transactions makes it more difficult for law enforcement agencies to monitor and prevent criminal activity.

但是，在非法交易中越來越多地使用隱私硬幣和穩定幣，使執法機構難以監視和防止犯罪活動。

Despite advancements in blockchain analytics tools that can follow transaction trails through mixers and tumblers, detecting and tracing transactions involving Monero and other privacy coins remains a significant challenge for these agencies.

儘管區塊鏈分析工具的進步可以通過混合器和不倒翁進行交易跟踪，但檢測和追踪涉及Monero和其他隱私硬幣的交易仍然是這些機構的重大挑戰。

Moreover, global regulators are now focusing on privacy coins and stablecoins. Some countries, such as China, have banned privacy coins.

此外，全球監管機構現在專注於隱私硬幣和Stablecoins。一些國家，例如中國，已禁止隱私硬幣。

In the case of stablecoins, regulators are introducing stricter supervision, with the U.S. Congress aiming to impose new regulations on stablecoins.

就穩定者而言，監管機構正在引入更嚴格的監督，美國國會旨在對穩定的新法規施加新法規。
