CryptoQuant CEO Claims China Has Sold Seized Bitcoin

CryptoQuant執行長聲稱中國已出售扣押的比特幣

CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju suggests that Chinese authorities may have sold $20 billion worth of Bitcoin seized in the PlusToken scheme in 2019.

CryptoQuant首席執行官Ki Young Ju認為，中國當局可能在2019年的Plustoken計劃中售出了價值200億美元的比特幣。

In an analysis shared by CryptoQuant, Ju compared the value of PlusToken's 194,775 Bitcoin reserve with the value found within mixers. The data led him to believe that the seized Bitcoin has likely been sold.

在CryptoQuant共有的分析中，JU將Plustoken的194,775比特幣儲備的價值與混合器中的價值進行了比較。數據使他相信被扣押的比特幣可能已出售。

Despite claims from the Chinese government that the Bitcoin has been transferred to the national treasury, there has been no clarification on whether it has been sold or retained as Bitcoin. Ju maintains that the former is more probable.

儘管中國政府聲稱比特幣已轉移到國家財政部，但尚未澄清它是被出售還是保留為比特幣。 JU堅持認為前者更有可能。

"A censored regime holding censorship-resistant money feels unlikely," Ju remarked.

「一個受審查的政權持有抗審查的資金感覺不太可能，」朱說。

According to a separate analysis by Ju, the seized Bitcoin was laundered through mixers and sent to several Chinese exchanges, including Huobi. He concluded that the Chinese authorities would not have gone through this process if they did not intend to sell the Bitcoin.

根據 Ju 的另一項分析，查獲的比特幣透過混合器進行洗錢，並發送到包括火幣在內的多家中國交易所。他的結論是，如果中國當局不打算出售比特幣，就不會經歷這個過程。

In 2024, allegations surfaced from Chinese journalist Colin Wu that the government had sold some of the seized crypto through Beijing Zhifan Technology. Wu claimed that the sales occurred between late 2019 and mid-2020.

2024年，中國記者科林·吳（Colin Wu）的指控浮出水面，稱政府已通過北京吉凡（Beijing）的吉凡（Beijing）技術出售了一些被佔領的加密貨幣。吳聲稱銷售發生在2019年末至2020年中期。

PlusToken was a Ponzi scheme dismantled in 2019, leading to the seizure of vast quantities of cryptocurrency, including 194,775 Bitcoin. The scheme affected approximately 2 million investors.

Plustoken是一項龐氏騙局，於2019年拆除，導致抓住了大量的加密貨幣，其中包括194,775個比特幣。該計劃影響了大約200萬投資者。

Despite China's ban on crypto trading and mining activities in 2021, Chinese citizens continue to engage in cryptocurrency transactions. According to Chainalysis, from July 2023 to June 2024, the Chinese cryptocurrency market processed approximately $50 billion in transaction volume.

儘管中國在2021年禁止加密交易和採礦活動，但中國公民仍在進行加密貨幣交易。根據鏈分析，從2023年7月到2024年6月，中國加密貨幣市場處理了約500億美元的交易量。
