比特币（BTC）被非法交易中的Monero（XMR）等隐私硬币取代

比特币曾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（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.

比特币（BTC）在很大程度上由网络犯罪分子使用。但是现在，它被以隐私为重点的硬币（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%.

根据TRM Labs的数据，比特币占与2016年非法活动有关的总加密货币量的97％。但是，到2022年，该数字下降到仅为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%.

根据TRM Labs的报告，到2024年，涉及比特币的非法加密货币活动将减少到12％。TRON（TRX）的体积最大，为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.

链分析的另一份报告表明，稳定币将以63％的总数占非法交易量的大部分，而在非法活动中使用比特币将下降。

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.

今年早些时候，白宫市场是最大的黑暗网络市场之一，不再接受比特币，并且只会使用Monero（XMR）进行交易。

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.”

市场管理员宣布这一变化时说：“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。”

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

此外，椭圆研究人员在柬埔寨的Huione担保市场上使用USDT发现了110亿美元的非法交易。

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

最近，日本执法部门追踪了蒙罗罗（Monero），导致该国首次被捕，涉及对Monero交易的分析。

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

从黑暗网络中的比特币转变为隐私硬币和稳定的转变是一个主要趋势。

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

比特币是一种透明的加密货币，在与IP地址或Exchange Records（Exchange Records）结合使用时，可以跟踪每个事务。

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.

这种透明度使联邦调查局（FBI）等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关闭主要的黑暗网络市场。一些例子包括2013年的丝绸之路，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 utilize advanced technologies to provide high levels of anonymity, rendering transactions nearly impossible to track.

但是，诸如Monero，Zcash和Dash之类的隐私硬币利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。

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，人们对隐私硬币的兴趣激增。根据ScienceDirect发表的最新研究，隐私硬币与黑暗网络流量之间存在密切的关系，这有助于在非法市场中越来越多地使用隐私硬币。

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

从比特币到隐私硬币和稳定币的转变对加密货币行业和执法部门都有影响。

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.

从积极的角度来看，比特币在非法活动中的作用下降可能有助于提高其作为合法财务工具的声誉。这可能会导致更多的用户和投资者对比特币采用。

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，在非法交易中越来越多地使用隐私硬币和稳定币，使执法机构难以监视和防止犯罪活动。

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.

尽管区块链分析工具的进步可以通过混合器和不倒翁进行交易跟踪，但检测和追踪涉及Monero和其他隐私硬币的交易仍然是这些机构的重大挑战。

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

此外，全球监管机构现在专注于隐私硬币和Stablecoins。一些国家，例如中国，已禁止隐私硬币。

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

就稳定者而言，监管机构正在引入更严格的监督，美国国会旨在对稳定的新法规施加新法规。
