ZachXBT: The crypto industry is experiencing a "crime super cycle", and the black market on the Tron chain is estimated to be as high as 5-10 billion US dollars

Odaily Planet Daily News Chain Detective ZachXBT published an article on the X platform, saying that the current crypto industry is experiencing the outbreak of a "crime super cycle", and on-chain money laundering activities have surged, especially after politicians launched Meme coins and multiple cases were withdrawn. He pointed out that in recent hacking incidents including Bybit, DMM Bitcoin, and WazirX, hacker groups such as Lazarus Group have successfully laundered stolen money through over-the-counter traders and money laundering groups. He estimated that the scale of the "Black U" black market on the Tron chain is no less than 5 billion to 10 billion US dollars, and most of it has not been identified. Some teams knew that more than 50% of the transaction volume in their protocols came from stolen funds, but chose to stand by and collect fees without doing anything. KOLs openly deceived fans and project parties, and almost never suffered any consequences. Due to legal lags, courts frequently stand on the side of smart contract attackers. In the current more relaxed environment, the boundary between black and gray is obvious: those who do gray hat (regulatory arbitrage, money laundering channels, etc.) are in an advantageous position, while those who do black hat (phishing, social work, robbery) are at the most dangerous moment in history.
