The U.S. is calling for a reduced five-year prison sentence for Ilya Lichtenstein, who was found guilty of conspiring to launder cryptocurrency stolen in the 2016 Bitfinex hack.

美國呼籲減輕伊利亞·利希滕斯坦 (Ilya Lichtenstein) 的五年監禁，他因串謀洗錢在 2016 年 Bitfinex 黑客攻擊中被盜的加密貨幣而被判有罪。

Prosecutors initially sought a 25-year sentence for Lichtenstein, but in a sentencing memo filed on Monday, they asked for the sentence to be cut to five years, reflecting his cooperation in the case and assistance in other crypto-related criminal investigations.

檢察官最初尋求對 Lichtenstein 判處 25 年徒刑，但在周一提交的量刑備忘錄中，他們要求將刑期減至 5 年，以反映他在此案中的合作以及對其他加密相關刑事調查的協助。

A new report by Andreessen Horowitz-backed firm a16z crypto shows that cryptocurrency activity and usage reached an all-time high in 2023, despite the bear market and market downturns.

The State of Crypto 2023 report, released on Wednesday, found that crypto activity surged by 39% last year, reaching an index value of 139.

週三發布的《2023 年加密貨幣狀況》報告發現，去年加密貨幣活動激增 39%，指數值達到 139。

報告還發現，印度、巴西和土耳其等新興市場推動了大部分加密貨幣活動，佔總活動的 75%。

"This is largely due to the fact that these markets have a younger population, higher mobile penetration rates and a greater need for financial services," the report stated.

報告指出：“這主要是由於這些市場人口更年輕、移動普及率更高以及對金融服務的需求更大。”

Meanwhile, a group of U.S. senators have introduced a bill that would require the Internal Revenue Service to study the tax implications of cryptocurrency donations.

同時，一群美國參議員提出了一項法案，要求國稅局研究加密貨幣捐贈的稅務影響。

該法案由參議員 Ron Wyden（俄勒岡州民主黨）、Cynthia Lummis（懷俄明州共和黨）和 Steve Daines（蒙大拿州共和黨）提出，將指示國稅局對加密貨幣捐贈的稅收處理進行研究，並報告其調查結果將在180 天內提交給國會。

"This legislation will help ensure that the tax code is keeping up with the times and that Americans are able to fully participate in the digital economy," Wyden said in a statement.

懷登在一份聲明中表示：“這項立法將有助於確保稅法與時俱進，確保美國人能夠充分參與數位經濟。”
