Bitcoin network hashrate has recently fallen to its lowest level in nearly four months. Hashrate Index data shows that Bitcoin's 7-day moving average hashrate has dropped to approximately 993 EH/s, the first time it has fallen below 1000 EH/s since mid-September last year, and is down nearly 15% from its peak of approximately 1157 EH/s on October 19th. Leon Lyu, founder and CEO of StandardHash, stated that the main reason for the hashrate decline is that some miners are shifting their electricity resources to AI computing services in pursuit of higher profit margins. Previously, mining media outlet TheMinerMag pointed out that 2025 will present an extremely challenging profit environment for Bitcoin miners, prompting some mining companies to explore alternative businesses such as artificial intelligence and high-performance computing. The report also mentioned that although Bitcoin mining difficulty has decreased and miner profitability metrics have improved in recent months, competition for electricity and computing resources from AI continues, putting pressure on the overall Bitcoin network hashrate.

The Korea Customs Service (KCW) Seoul Headquarters Customs Office recently announced that it has transferred a case involving large-scale illegal currency exchange using virtual assets to the prosecution. The investigation revealed that the criminal gang illegally exchanged approximately 148.9 billion won over the past four years using virtual asset accounts both domestically and internationally, charging fees in the process, which is suspected of violating the Foreign Exchange Transaction Act. The KCW disclosed that the gang collected funds from clients through WeChat Pay, Alipay, and other methods, then purchased virtual assets in multiple overseas countries and transferred them to wallets within South Korea, before converting them into Korean won and withdrawing the cash. Three people were involved, including a Chinese man in his 30s. The funds were used for various purposes, including trade payments, duty-free purchases, tuition fees, and funds with unclear uses; currency exchange was assisted in exchange for a fee. Furthermore, the investigation also found that a former head of a consultation room at a plastic surgery clinic had solicited foreign clients by offering to "assist in illegally transferring surgical fees." The case has now been transferred to the prosecution for further processing. (imnews)
