CryptoQuant CEO Claims China Has Sold Seized Bitcoin

CryptoQuant首席执行官声称中国已出售扣押的比特币

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首席执行官Ki Young Ju认为，中国当局可能在2019年的Plustoken计划中售出了价值200亿美元的比特币。

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 分享的一份分析中，Ju 将 PlusToken 的 194,775 比特币储备的价值与混合器中发现的价值进行了比较。这些数据使他相信被扣押的比特币很可能已被出售。

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.

尽管中国政府声称比特币已上缴国库，但尚未澄清其是否已被出售或作为比特币保留。 Ju认为前者的可能性更大。

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

尤尔说：“持有审查货币的审查政权不太可能。”

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.

根据 Ju 的另一项分析，查获的比特币通过混合器进行洗钱，并发送到包括火币在内的多家中国交易所。他的结论是，如果中国当局不打算出售比特币，就不会经历这一过程。

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，中国记者 Colin Wu 指控政府通过北京智帆科技出售了部分被扣押的加密货币。吴声称销售发生在2019年底至2020年中期之间。

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是一项庞氏骗局，于2019年拆除，导致抓住了大量的加密货币，其中包括194,775个比特币。该计划影响了大约200万投资者。

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.

尽管中国在2021年禁止加密交易和采矿活动，但中国公民仍在进行加密货币交易。根据链分析，从2023年7月到2024年6月，中国加密货币市场处理了约500亿美元的交易量。
