比特币（BTC）曾经是非法交易中的主要货币。现在被替换

比特币（BTC）曾经被认为是非法交易中的主要货币。但是，现在它被以隐私为中心的加密货币所取代

Bitcoin (BTC) is largely used by cryptocurrency traders and investors. It is also used by criminals for illicit activities. However, a new report by blockchain intelligence firm TRM Labs has found that Bitcoin is rapidly being replaced by other cryptocurrencies for illegal transactions.

比特币（BTC）在很大程度上被加密货币交易者和投资者使用。罪犯也将其用于非法活动。但是，区块链情报公司TRM Labs的一份新报告发现，比特币迅速被其他非法交易的加密货币所取代。

According to TRM Labs, Bitcoin was used in 97% of the total cryptocurrency volume linked to criminal activity in 2016. But by 2022, this figure had dropped to just 19%.

根据TRM Labs的数据，比特币被用于与2016年犯罪活动有关的总加密货币量的97％。但是到2022年，这一数字已下降到19％。

The report predicts that by 2024, illegal cryptocurrency activities involving Bitcoin will further reduce to 12%, while Tron (TRX) will take the lead with 58% of the total volume.

该报告预测，到2024年，涉及比特币的非法加密货币活动将进一步减少到12％，而TRON（TRX）将以总数的58％领先。

Another report by Chainalysis also found that stablecoins now make up the majority of the total illicit transaction volume with 63%, and the use of Bitcoin in illegal activities has seen a huge reduction.

Chainalysis的另一份报告还发现，现在的稳定币现在占非法交易量的大部分，占63％的总额，而在非法活动中使用比特币的人数大大降低。

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

今年早些时候，白宫市场是最大的黑网市场之一，停止接受比特币，现在仅将其用于交易（XMR）。

Announcing the change, the marketplace 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.”

市场宣布这一变化时说：“比特币的解决方法应该在那里只是为了帮助过渡到XMR，因此，我们已经完成了，因此我们现在只按计划进行。”

Earlier in July, Elliptic researchers discovered $11 billion in illicit trades using Tether’s (USDT) stablecoin on Cambodia’s Huione Guarantee marketplace.

7月初，椭圆研究人员在柬埔寨的Huione保证市场上使用Tether's（USDT）Stablecoin发现了110亿美元的非法交易。

Also, Japanese law enforcement officials have successfully tracked Monero transactions, leading to the country’s first arrest in an case that involved cryptocurrency.

此外，日本执法人员成功地跟踪了Monero交易，导致该国首次被捕，涉及加密货币。

The shift away from Bitcoin in the Dark Web is being driven by the coin’s lack of privacy. Bitcoin’s blockchain is a public ledger, and when combined with additional data such as IP addresses or exchange records, every transaction can be tracked.

在黑暗网络中，从黑暗网络中的比特币转变是由硬币缺乏隐私的驱动。比特币的区块链是公共分类帐，当与其他数据（例如IP地址或交换记录）结合使用时，可以跟踪每个事务。

This complete transparency has enabled law enforcement agencies like the FBI to use blockchain analytics tools from firms like Chainalysis and Elliptic to dismantle major Dark Web markets.

这种完全的透明度使联邦调查局（FBI）这样的执法机构能够使用诸如链分析和椭圆形的公司的区块链分析工具来拆除主要的黑暗网络市场。

Some notable examples include the shutdown of Silk Road in 2013, AlphaBay in 2017, Hydra in 2022, and Incognito Market in 2024.

一些值得注意的例子包括2013年丝绸之路的关闭，2017年的Alphabay，2022年的Hydra以及2024年的隐身市场。

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

比特币还面临一些技术挑战，例如高交易费用和缓慢的确认时间。

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

但是，诸如Monero，Zcash和Dash之类的隐私硬币使用高级技术来提供高水平的匿名性，从而使交易几乎无法跟踪。

A recent study by ScienceDirect found that privacy coins are closely linked to Dark Web traffic, which contributes to their rising popularity in illicit markets.

ScienceDirect的最新研究发现，隐私硬币与黑暗网络交通密切相关，这有助于其在非法市场中的普及。

The shift from Bitcoin to privacy coins and stablecoins also has another implication. It is becoming increasingly difficult for law enforcement agencies to track and prevent illegal transactions.

从比特币到隐私硬币和稳定币的转变也有另一个含义。执法机构追踪和防止非法交易变得越来越困难。

While advanced blockchain analytics tools can be used to detect transaction trails through mixers and tumblers, dealing with Monero and other privacy coins remains a huge challenge.

虽然可以使用先进的区块链分析工具来检测通过混合器和不倒翁来检测交易步道，但处理Monero和其他隐私硬币仍然是一个巨大的挑战。

This has led to a greater focus from global regulators on privacy coins and stablecoins. Some institutions are moving to ban privacy coins entirely, while stablecoins are being placed under stricter oversight.

这导致全球监管机构对隐私硬币和Stablecoins的重点更加重视。一些机构正在完全禁止隐私硬币，而稳定的人则受到更严格的监督。

Overall, the transition from Bitcoin to privacy coins and stablecoins on the Dark Web is a clear trend. It is being driven by the increasing demand for anonymity and efficiency in illicit transactions.

总体而言，从黑暗网络上从比特币到隐私硬币和Stablecoins的过渡是一个明显的趋势。它是由对非法交易中对匿名性和效率的不断增长所驱动的。

Bitcoin is still used in certain crypto-related crimes, such as exchange scams and rugpulls. But for the bulk of illegal activities, such as drug sales and fraud, privacy coins are now the preferred choice due to their superior security and privacy.

比特币仍用于某些与加密相关的犯罪中，例如交换骗局和鲁格普尔。但是，对于大部分非法活动，例如毒品销售和欺诈，隐私硬币现在是由于其出色的安全性和隐私而成为首选选择。

This trend poses a significant challenge for law enforcement agencies, who are struggling to keep pace with the rapid rate of innovation in the cryptocurrency industry. It also raises questions about the role of cryptocurrencies in the future of finance and society.

这种趋势对执法机构构成了重大挑战，他们正在努力与加密货币行业的创新速度迅速保持同步。它还提出了有关加密货币在金融和社会未来的作用的疑问。
