在2024年，非法加密交易超过510亿美元，高于以前的估计。

这些发现发表在该公司的最新加密犯罪报告中，表明AI驱动的欺诈，Stablecoin洗钱和复杂的网络犯罪网络激增。

Illicit cryptocurrency transactions reached a record high of over $51 billion in 2024, according to blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis.

根据区块链分析公司的链分析，非法的加密货币交易在2024年达到了创纪录的510亿美元。

The findings, published in the company’s latest Crypto Crime Report, also highlight a significant surge in AI-driven fraud, stablecoin laundering, and sophisticated cybercrime networks.

这些发现发表在该公司的最新加密犯罪报告中，还强调了AI驱动的欺诈，稳定的洗钱和复杂的网络犯罪网络的巨大激增。

Despite initial projections suggesting a decline in crypto-related crime, deeper analysis revealed that criminals have rapidly adapted to regulatory scrutiny.

尽管最初的预测表明与加密相关的犯罪有所下降，但更深入的分析表明，犯罪分子迅速适应了监管审查。

This has led to a shift away from Bitcoin (BTC) in favor of stablecoins and privacy-focused assets, while cybercriminals are now integrating AI in new and sophisticated ways to perpetrate large-scale scams.

这导致了从比特币（BTC）转变，而转向了稳定的资产和以隐私为中心的资产，而网络犯罪分子现在以新颖而精致的方式将AI整合起来，以进行大规模骗局。

Criminals prefer stablecoins

罪犯更喜欢稳定的

Once the dominant currency in illicit transactions, Bitcoin is now seeing a smaller share of crypto crime.

一旦是非法交易中的主要货币，比特币现在看到了较小的加密货币犯罪。

Chainalysis reported that stablecoins were involved in 63% of illicit crypto transactions last year, the third year in a row they have surpassed Bitcoin.

Chainalysis报道说，稳定币去年参与了63％的非法加密交易，这是连续第三年超过比特币。

Unlike Bitcoin, which has relatively slower confirmation times and high volatility, stablecoins offer nearly instant transactions with minimal price fluctuations.

与比特币的确认时间相对较慢，而波动性高的比特币则提供了几乎即时的交易，价格波动最少。

This has made them a preferred tool for laundering large sums through cross-chain bridges, mixers, and decentralized platforms, allowing criminals to rapidly shift funds and evade detection.

这使它们成为通过跨链桥，混合器和分散平台洗钱的首选工具，使罪犯能够快速转移资金并逃避检测。

Major stablecoin issuers, such as Tether, have been attempting to crackdown on illicit activity by freezing wallets linked to cybercrime.

诸如Tether之类的主要稳定发行人一直在试图通过冻结与网络犯罪相关的钱包来镇压非法活动。

However, criminals have quickly adapted, turning to alternative stablecoins, privacy-focused cryptocurrencies like Monero, self-custodial wallets, and DeFi-based laundering schemes.

但是，罪犯迅速适应，转向替代性稳定，以隐私为重点的加密货币，例如Monero，自我监测的钱包和基于Defi的洗钱计划。

As institutions and governments become more involved in the crypto sphere, the potential for large-scale fraud is also increasing.

随着机构和政府越来越多地参与加密领域，大规模欺诈的潜力也在增加。

In a recent case, crypto firm CLS Global pleaded guilty to charges of engaging in a huge wash trading scheme with a new token that the FBI had created as part of a sting operation.

在最近的一个案例中，加密公司CLS Global对联邦调查局（FBI）作为刺痛行动的一部分创建的新代币进行巨大的Wash交易计划表示认罪。

The goal was to induce Chinese investors into fraudulent investment schemes.

目的是使中国投资者制定欺诈性投资计划。

The stign operation, codenamed "Operation Outfollw," spanned three years and involved the creation of a fictitious crypto firm named "Apex," complete with a website, office space, and a small workforce.

席位操作，代号为“ Outfollw”，跨越了三年，并涉及创建一个名为“ Apex”的虚拟加密公司，其中包括一个网站，办公空间和一个小型劳动力。

Its aim was to deceive Chinese investors with promises of high returns from investing in a new token called "ApexCoin," which would be used for payments at a chain of U.S. restaurants.

它的目的是欺骗中国投资者，承诺投资一个名为“ Apexcoin”的新代币，这将用于在美国餐馆连锁店的付款中。

However, Apex was a facade, and the token was a figment of the FBI's imagination, designed to lure unsuspecting victims.

但是，Apex是一个立面，令牌是FBI想象力的虚构，旨在引诱毫无戒心的受害者。

The narrative fabricators at the agency went to great lengths to craft a believable backstory for Apex, complete with a history of involvement in the cryptocurrency industry and a vision for the future of digital finance.

该机构的叙事制造商竭尽全力为顶点制作一个可信的背景故事，并具有参与加密货币行业的历史，以及对数字融资未来的愿景。

They even fabricated a tale of how Apex had been developing its own blockchain technology since 2015 and had already launched several successful tokens.

他们甚至为Apex以来如何开发自己的区块链技术制作了一个故事，并且已经推出了几个成功的令牌。

To further enhance the scam, the FBI enlisted the assistance of a cryptocurrency exchange, which created a dedicated trading pair for ApexCoin and executed trades to manipulate the token's price and volume.

为了进一步增强骗局，联邦调查局获得了加密货币交易所的协助，该交易所为Apexcoin创建了专门的交易对，并执行了操纵令牌的价格和数量的交易。

The goal was to create the illusion of substantial trading activity and investor interest in the token.

目的是建立大量交易活动和投资者对代币的兴趣的幻想。

In 2021, the FBI reached out to CLS Global, a small crypto firm run by cryptocurrency enthusiast Charles Lee, to participate in the final stage of the sting operation.

2021年，联邦调查局（FBI）与CLS Global取得了联系，这是一家由加密货币爱好者Charles Lee经营的小型加密货币公司，参加了刺痛行动的最后阶段。

The FBI agents approached Lee with a proposition: they needed a crypto company to process funds on behalf of a Chinese client who was investing in Apex.

联邦调查局特工以一个主张与李接触：他们需要一家加密货币公司代表正在对Apex进行投资的中国客户处理资金。

For its role, CLS Global would receive a 0.3% cut of the investment.

CLS Global将获得0.3％的投资。

The total investment was $40 million, which meant that CLS Global stood to receive $120,000.

总投资为4000万美元，这意味着CLS Global将获得120,000美元。

Despite being warned by his own lawyer that the email correspondence with the FBI could be used against him, Lee agreed to cooperate.

尽管他自己的律师警告说，与联邦调查局的电子邮件通信可以对他使用，但李同意合作。

On March 10, 2023, in a Boston court, crypto firm CLS Global pleaded guilty to a single count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection with a large-scale cryptocurrency fraud.

2023年3月10日，在波士顿法院，加密货币公司CLS Global认罪，一项阴谋罪与大规模的加密货币欺诈有关。

The goal was to defraud Chinese investors.

目标是欺骗中国投资者。

The company also agreed to pay $294,344 in restitution to the victims of the fraud.

该公司还同意向欺诈受害者支付294,344美元的赔偿。

The case is still ongoing, and it remains to be seen what penalties will be imposed on those involved.

该案仍在进行中，还有待观察，将对所涉及的人施加哪些处罚。

However, the case serves as a stark warning about the growing threat of cryptocurrency fraud and the lengths to which fraudsters will go to deceive their victims.

但是，此案对加密货币欺诈的威胁日益严重以及欺诈者将欺骗受害者的长度进行了严格的警告。

It is also a reminder of the importance of being aware of the common types of cryptocurrency fraud and taking steps to protect oneself from becoming a victim.
