Shrinking Footprint, Enduring Malice

足迹缩小，恶意持久

According to "The Illicit Crypto Economy" report published by blockchain analytics firm TRM Labs, the cryptocurrency ecosystem witnessed a 9% decline in illicit activity in 2023 compared to the previous year. Nonetheless, criminals still managed to launder nearly $35 billion in cryptocurrencies during the year, highlighting the enduring threat posed by nefarious actors within the digital asset space.

根据区块链分析公司 TRM Labs 发布的《非法加密经济》报告，2023 年加密货币生态系统的非法活动较上一年下降了 9%。尽管如此，犯罪分子在这一年中仍然设法洗掉了近 350 亿美元的加密货币，这突显了数字资产领域中不法分子所构成的持久威胁。

Regulatory Pressure: A Force for Good

监管压力：一股向善的力量

The report attributes the decline in illicit activity partly to increased regulatory scrutiny. The United States, in particular, has significantly expanded its sanctions list, targeting entities and individuals linked to cryptocurrency-related crimes. This crackdown has had a notable impact on North Korean hackers, who saw their illicit proceeds drop by a significant 30% compared to 2022. Overall, the value of stolen cryptocurrencies plunged by more than 50%, from $3.7 billion in 2022 to $1.8 billion in 2023, underscoring the effectiveness of regulatory pressure in curbing illicit activity.

该报告将非法活动的减少部分归因于监管审查的加强。尤其是美国，大幅扩大了制裁名单，针对与加密货币相关犯罪有关的实体和个人。这次打击行动对朝鲜黑客产生了显着影响，与 2022 年相比，他们的非法收益大幅下降了 30%。总体而言，被盗加密货币的价值暴跌了 50% 以上，从 2022 年的 37 亿美元下降到 2022 年的 18 亿美元。 2023 年，强调监管压力在遏制非法活动方面的有效性。

Scams and Frauds: A Persistent Scourge

诈骗和欺诈：持续的祸害

Despite the overall decline in illicit activity, scams and frauds remain a significant concern within the cryptocurrency ecosystem, accounting for nearly a third of all crypto crimes in 2023. This highlights the need for investors to exercise extreme caution when engaging with digital asset platforms and transactions.

尽管非法活动总体下降，但诈骗和欺诈仍然是加密货币生态系统中的一个重大问题，占 2023 年所有加密货币犯罪的近三分之一。这凸显了投资者在参与数字资产平台和交易时需要极其谨慎。

Darknet Drug Trade: A Growing Threat

暗网毒品交易：日益严重的威胁

The report also sheds light on the growing illicit drug trade on darknet marketplaces, with sales increasing from $1.3 billion in 2022 to $1.6 billion in 2023. Notably, while the volume of fentanyl and its precursor materials witnessed a sharp 150% drop during the year, vendor sales surged by over 97% year-over-year, indicating a shift in market dynamics within the illicit drug trade.

该报告还揭示了暗网市场上日益增长的非法毒品交易，销售额从 2022 年的 13 亿美元增加到 2023 年的 16 亿美元。值得注意的是，尽管芬太尼及其前体材料的数量在这一年中急剧下降了 150%，供应商销售额同比猛增 97% 以上，表明非法毒品贸易的市场动态发生了变化。

Blockchain Distribution: TRON Dominates

区块链分布：TRON 占主导地位

In terms of the distribution of illicit crypto volume across different blockchains, TRM Labs found that nearly half (45%) of all illicit activity occurred on the TRON blockchain in 2023, up from 41% in 2022. This dominance highlights the need for increased monitoring and enforcement efforts on TRON to combat illicit activity within the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

就不同区块链上非法加密货币量的分布而言，TRM Labs 发现，2023 年，近一半 (45%) 的非法活动发生在 TRON 区块链上，高于 2022 年的 41%。这种主导地位凸显了加强监控的必要性TRON 上打击加密货币生态系统内非法活动的执法工作。

Stablecoins: A Conduit for Illicit Funds

稳定币：非法资金的渠道

The report also underscores the role of stablecoins, particularly Tether (USDT), in facilitating illicit crypto transactions. With $19.3 billion in illicit volume, Tether accounted for the largest share of illegal activity, ahead of Ethereum (24%) and Bitcoin (18%). This finding emphasizes the need for greater regulatory oversight of stablecoins to mitigate their potential use in money laundering and other illicit activities.

该报告还强调了稳定币，特别是 Tether (USDT) 在促进非法加密交易方面的作用。 Tether 的非法交易量达 193 亿美元，在非法活动中所占份额最大，领先于以太坊（24%）和比特币（18%）。这一发现强调需要加强对稳定币的监管，以减少其在洗钱和其他非法活动中的潜在用途。

Conclusion

结论

The "Illicit Crypto Economy" report provides a comprehensive assessment of the evolving landscape of illicit activity within the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
