> US authorities escalated enforcement against Xinbi Guarantee, restraining more than $52 million in crypto and seizing infrastructure tied to the Chinese-language marketplace. The Treasury designated Xinbi a significant transnational criminal organization and sanctioned SafeW Technology and Anwen Technology, while investigators targeted wallets, Telegram channels and other services linked to laundering and illicit transactions. Chainalysis said North Korea-linked actors moved tens of millions in stolen crypto through Xinbi vendors, which also served scam operators and underground cash-out networks.
