## 亞利桑那州恢復比特幣儲備法案

亞利桑那州將比特幣和數字資產納入州政策的努力最近再次加快了步伐，衆議院法案2324在參議院投票重新考慮該立法後再次進入議程。該法案最初在5月7日被亞利桑那州衆議院否決，但現在該法案將在參議院以16-14的動議通過後重新投票。

該動議由共和黨參議員賈奈·香普提起，她是之前反對該法案的立法者之一。這是重新考慮的程序要求。該法案旨在建立一個“比特幣和數字資產儲備基金”，用於管理被刑事沒收的數字資產，並規定了具體分配：首個$300,000的資產將歸州檢察長辦公室，超過該金額的部分將按50%分配給州檢察長，25%歸州一般基金，25%歸新儲備基金。

由共和黨參議員傑夫·溫寧格贊助的法案還將擴大該州的資產沒收法律，以明確包括數字資產。法案概述了亞利桑那州可以沒收數字資產的情況，例如涉及已故或被驅逐個人、逃犯，或在盡職調查後仍無法驗證所有權的情況。這項立法現在需要在60名成員的亞利桑那州衆議院中獲得多數票，才能向州長凱蒂·霍布斯提交最終批準。

這一最新進展是在州長對加密貨幣立法採取混合方式之後發生的。5月7日，霍布斯簽署了HB 2749法案，該法案允許州政府保留未認領的數字資產並建立儲備基金，所有這一切都不使用納稅人的錢。在該法案下，亞利桑那州的托管人可以質押加密貨幣持有量以賺取獎勵或接收空投，這將爲基金提供額外資源。

*霍布斯對否決(的解釋來源：* *亞利桑那州州長辦公室**)*

然而，霍布斯在其他方面更加謹慎。她否決了參議院法案1025，該法案提議允許州財政部長將最多10%的州資產投資於比特幣和其他加密貨幣，原因是擔心將退休和一般基金資產暴露於波動的數字投資中。霍布斯還拒絕了SB 1373，該法案提議設立數字資產戰略儲備基金，同樣是因爲擔心加密貨幣的波動。總體而言，亞利桑那州的前進道路仍然謹慎且政治上分裂。

## 俄亥俄州衆議院通過支持加密貨幣的法案

俄亥俄州最近也採取了重大步驟，朝着成爲美國最友好的加密貨幣州之一邁進，因爲其衆議院以68-26的投票通過了俄亥俄區塊鏈基礎法案(衆議院法案116)。該立法在同一天早些時候獲得了衆議院科技與創新委員會的全體兩黨支持，現在將送往參議院。

該法案由共和黨代表史蒂夫·德梅特裏烏倡導，其主要目標是簡化日常支付中加密貨幣的使用，並保護加密貨幣挖礦操作免受過度政府幹預。

該法案的核心條款之一是對200美元以下的加密貨幣交易免徵稅。這個門檻將根據通貨膨脹每年調整，按消費者物價指數進行指數化，並向上舍入到最近的5美元。州稅務專員將被禁止在後續年份降低這一限制。該法案還禁止州政府機構制定限制居民接受加密貨幣作爲支付方式的規則。

爲了支持數字資產基礎設施，該立法爲加密礦工提供了明確的保護。它允許個人在住宅區挖掘加密貨幣，前提是他們遵守當地法規，並允許礦業企業在劃定爲工業用途的區域自由運營。

該法案還禁止該州以不適用於可比行業的法律單獨針對加密礦業運營。如果地方政府試圖以可能對加密企業造成傷害的方式重新規劃土地，受影響的運營商將有法律途徑在法庭上挑戰這些決定。

俄亥俄州區塊鏈基礎法案還解決了幾個關鍵區塊鏈功能的監管透明性。它明確指出，人們和企業在進行挖礦、質押、運營區塊鏈節點、將一種加密貨幣交換爲另一種或開發去中心化應用時，無需獲得貨幣傳輸許可證。它進一步主張，加密挖礦和質押服務不應被視爲證券或投資合同。這是一個關鍵的區別，挑戰了拜登政府下聯邦機構採取的監管立場。

最終，該法案賦予俄亥俄州居民通過硬件或自托管錢包自行保管其數字資產的權利，而不受政府幹預。展望未來，俄亥俄州立法者還在考慮單獨的立法，以建立一個州級比特幣儲備基金。

*考慮加密貨幣立法的州 (來源:* *比特幣法律**)*

在今年，美國40個州推出了超過160項與加密貨幣相關的法案，俄亥俄州的積極舉措使其在州政府主導的擁抱區塊鏈創新的努力中處於領先地位。

## 韓國考慮基於韓元的穩定幣

世界其他地方也在取得進展。韓國可能對推出基於韓元的穩定幣持開放態度，但該國中央銀行由於對外匯管理的擔憂仍然謹慎。

在一次新聞發布會上，韓國銀行行長李昌鎔承認，發行一種與韓元掛鉤的穩定幣可能會使用戶更容易將其兌換成美元支持的穩定幣。他警告說，這可能會無意中推動對美元穩定幣的需求，並使中央銀行管理外匯市場的努力變得復雜。

李的言論正值韓國外匯儲備持續縮水之際，從12月底的4156億美元下降至5月底的4046億美元。同時，新當選的李在明總統領導的政府正在推進一個支持加密貨幣的監管框架。

在6月10日，執政的民主黨提出了《數字資產基礎法》，該法案旨在爲擁有至少368,000美元股本的公司合法化穩定幣的發行。根據提案，發行者必須保持足夠的儲備並獲得韓國主要金融監管機構金融服務委員會的批準。

金融服務委員會也在對當地加密交易所進行調查，重點關注他們向用戶收取的交易費用。這項舉措是李總統更廣泛的競選承諾的一部分，旨在降低交易成本，使加密貨幣更加可及，特別是對於年輕投資者。

全球範圍內，穩定幣主要由美元支持的資產主導，例如Tether (USDT)和Circle的USDC，市值分別爲1560億美元和610億美元。然而，非美元穩定幣的勢頭開始增長。

例如，Circle 的歐元掛鉤穩定幣 EURC 今年的市值激增至 2.03 億美元，比 1 月份增長了 156%。這一增長與穩定幣領域的樂觀情緒 coincides，尤其是在美國立法者表示他們將推動 GENIUS 法案之後。

## Arizona Revives Bitcoin Reserve Bill

Arizona’s efforts to incorporate Bitcoin and digital assets into state policy recently picked up momentum again, with House Bill 2324 now back in play after a Senate vote to reconsider the legislation. It was initially defeated in the Arizona House on May 7, but the bill is now slated for another vote after the Senate passed a motion 16-14 to bring it back for review 

The motion was filed by Republican Senator Janae Shamp, one of the lawmakers who previously opposed the bill. This is a procedural requirement for reconsideration. The bill seeks to establish a “Bitcoin and Digital Assets Reserve Fund” for managing criminally forfeited digital assets and sets out specific allocations: the first $300,000 of assets would go to the Attorney General’s office, and any amount exceeding that would be split 50% to the Attorney General, 25% to the state’s general fund, and 25% to the new reserve fund.

Sponsored by Republican Senator Jeff Weninger, the bill will also expand the state’s asset forfeiture laws to explicitly include digital assets. It outlines scenarios under which Arizona could seize digital assets, like cases involving deceased or deported individuals, fugitives, or where ownership cannot be verified despite due diligence. The legislation now requires a majority vote in the 60-member Arizona House to move forward to Governor Katie Hobbs for final approval.

This latest development follows a mixed approach from the governor on cryptocurrency legislation. On May 7, Hobbs signed HB 2749 into law, which allows the state to retain unclaimed digital assets and establish a reserve fund, all without using taxpayer money. Under this law, Arizona’s custodians can stake crypto holdings to earn rewards or receive airdrops, which will contribute additional resources to the fund 

*Hobbs’ explanation for veto (Source:* *State of Arizona Office of the Governor**)*

However, Hobbs was more cautious in other areas. She vetoed Senate Bill 1025, which proposed allowing the state treasurer to invest up to 10% of state holdings in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, due to concerns over exposing retirement and general fund assets to volatile digital investments. Hobbs also rejected SB 1373, which proposed a Digital Assets Strategic Reserve Fund, also because of concerns about crypto volatility. Overall, Arizona’s path forward is still cautious and politically divided.

## Ohio House Passes Pro-Crypto Bill

Ohio also recently took a major step toward becoming one of the most crypto-friendly states in the US after its House of Representatives passed the Ohio Blockchain Basics Act (House Bill 116) in a 68-26 vote. The legislation received unanimous bipartisan support in the House’s Technology and Innovation Committee earlier the same day, and now heads to the Senate 

The bill was championed by Republican Representative Steve Demetriou, and its main goal is to simplify the use of cryptocurrencies for everyday payments and protect crypto mining operations from excessive government intervention.

One of the bill’s core provisions is a tax exemption for cryptocurrency transactions under $200. This threshold will adjust annually based on inflation, indexed to the Consumer Price Index and rounded up to the nearest $5. The state’s tax commissioner will be barred from decreasing the limit in subsequent years. The bill also prohibits state agencies from creating rules that restrict residents from accepting cryptocurrency as payment.

To try and support digital asset infrastructure, the legislation includes clear protections for crypto miners. It allows individuals to mine cryptocurrency in residential zones, provided they comply with local regulations, and enables mining businesses to operate freely in areas zoned for industrial use 

The bill also prevents the state from singling out crypto mining operations with laws that don’t apply to comparable industries. If local governments attempt to rezone land in ways that could harm crypto businesses, affected operators will have legal recourse to challenge the decisions in court.

The Ohio Blockchain Basics Act also tackles regulatory clarity around several key blockchain functions. It specifies that people and businesses do not need a money transmitter license to engage in mining, staking, operating blockchain nodes, swapping one cryptocurrency for another, or developing decentralized applications. It further asserts that crypto mining and staking services should not be considered securities or investment contracts. This is a key distinction that challenges the regulatory stance that was taken by federal agencies under the Biden administration.

Finally, the bill gives Ohioans the right to self-custody their digital assets through hardware or self-hosted wallets without interference from the government. Looking ahead, Ohio lawmakers are also considering separate legislation to establish a state-level Bitcoin reserve fund 

*States considering crypto legislation (Source:* *Bitcoin Laws**)*

With over 160 crypto-related bills introduced across 40 US states this year, Ohio’s proactive approach puts it at the forefront of state-led efforts to embrace blockchain innovation.

## Korea Weighs Won-Based Stablecoin

Progress is also being made in other parts of the world. South Korea may be open to the idea of launching a won-based stablecoin, but the country’s central bank is still cautious due to concerns over foreign exchange management 

At a press conference, Bank of Korea Governor Rhee Chang-yong acknowledged that issuing a stablecoin pegged to the Korean won could potentially make it easier for users to swap it for US dollar-backed stablecoins. This, he warned, could inadvertently boost demand for dollar stablecoins and complicate the central bank’s efforts to manage foreign exchange markets.

Rhee’s remarks come as South Korea's foreign currency reserves continue to shrink, dropping from $415.6 billion at the end of December to $404.6 billion by the end of May. Meanwhile, the newly elected administration under President Lee Jae-myung is pushing forward with a pro-crypto regulatory framework 

On June 10, the ruling Democratic Party introduced the Digital Asset Basic Act, a bill that is designed to legalize stablecoin issuance for companies with at least $368,000 in equity capital. Under the proposal, issuers must maintain adequate reserves and get approval from the Financial Services Commission, South Korea’s primary financial regulator.

The Financial Services Commission is also conducting an investigation into local crypto exchanges, focusing on the transaction fees they charge users. This initiative is part of President Lee’s broader campaign promise to reduce trading costs and make crypto more accessible, particularly for younger investors.

Globally, stablecoins are dominated by US dollar-backed assets like Tether (USDT) and Circle’s USDC, with market caps of $156 billion and $61 billion respectively. However, the momentum behind non-dollar stablecoins is beginning to grow 

Circle’s euro-pegged EURC, for example, saw its market cap surge to $203 million this year, which is a 156% increase since January. This growth coincides with optimism in the stablecoin sector, especially after US lawmakers indicated they would advance the GENIUS Act.

領先市場洞察提供商Santiment表示：“現在有超過2,700個鯨魚和鯊魚錢包首次在該資產12年以上的歷史中持有至少1M XRP。”

來源：Santiment### 積極的機構和企業XRP情緒

鯨魚們正在大量買入XRP，持有的代幣數量創歷史新高，這得益於機構整合、XRP Ledger使用量的增加、監管樂觀情緒和技術定位。

鑑於市場對現貨XRP交易所交易基金(ETF)獲得批準的高度投機，這一發展也增加了鯨魚的積累。

根據Polymarket數據，到2025年結束之前推出現貨XRP的機會已飆升至90%。

因此，圍繞XRP ETF的樂觀情緒和潛在的美國監管明確性，例如Ripple與SEC的訴訟進展，正在鼓勵鯨魚和企業的積累

例如，迪拜的金融監管機構最近允許XRP在迪拜國際金融中心(DIFC)內進行運營。

根據Santiment的數據，XRP Ledger (XRPL) 正在由於網路的低費用而經歷顯著增長。

值得注意的是，XRPL 有潛力成爲代幣化現實世界資產的基石 (RWA).

這是因爲XRPL準備爲用戶提供一個具有成本效益和高效的解決方案，以便在不依賴傳統法定貨幣的情況下購買、出售、存儲和轉移現實世界資產。

因此，這些發展正在增強XRP鯨魚活動，因爲活躍地址的數量在過去一周達到了112萬。

### 加拿大首個XRP ETF推出

Purpose Investments已啓動加拿大首個現貨XRP ETF的進程，最近獲得監管批準，爲投資者提供通過傳統經紀帳戶直接接觸全球第四大加密貨幣的機會。

Purpose Investments的首席創新官Vlad Tasevski承認：“我們自豪地繼續推動這個領域的可能性，通過爲投資者提供簡單、安全的訪問，來支持現實世界區塊鏈的採用基礎設施。”

### 爲什麼美國市場對現貨XRP ETF充滿期待

加密貨幣社區正熱切期待美國對現貨XRP ETF的潛在批準，這一發展可能標志着數字資產及更廣泛的加密市場的重大轉折點。

與基於期貨的ETF通過合約獲取價值不同，現貨ETF直接跟蹤XRP的價格，爲投資者提供了一種更簡單、更透明的方式，使他們能夠獲得對該資產的敞口，而無需管理私人錢包或交易所的復雜性。

人們興奮情緒高漲的主要原因之一是監管的明確性。在2023年，Ripple在與美國證券交易委員會(SEC)的部分法律勝利後，裁定XRP在二級市場交易時並不是一種證券，這爲機構的接受鋪平了道路，變得不再模糊。

這一關鍵的法律先例使XRP與許多仍處於監管不確定中的其他山寨幣區分開來——使其成爲ETF考慮中更具吸引力的候選者。

基礎設施和需求也已到位。XRP 擁有加密生態系統中最活躍和可擴展的區塊鏈之一，具有閃電般的結算速度和低交易費用。

機構投資者對XRP在跨境支付中的興趣日益增加，現貨ETF的增加可能成爲主流採用的催化劑。這將使資產管理公司、退休基金和普通投資者通過傳統經紀帳戶獲得受監管的投資機會，從而大大擴展XRP的市場覆蓋範圍。

此外，最近的先例增加了動力。隨着2024年初現貨比特幣ETF的批準以及對以太坊ETF日益增長的興趣，投資者現在看到了XRP跟進的更清晰路線圖。

現貨XRP ETF的推出可能會爲生態系統注入新資本，通過更高的流動性提高價格穩定性，並在加密市場成熟的時期增強投資者信心。

最後，社區的情緒非常高漲。XRP持有者長期以來認爲他們的代幣相對於其效用和全球合作關係被低估了。

現貨ETF不僅會驗證資產的合法性，還將爲Ripple的技術和生態系統開啓一個新的增長和可見性時代。

### 結論

美國對現貨XRP ETF的期待不僅僅反映了市場的投機，它還表明了對合法性、可及性和機構級加密貨幣投資的更廣泛需求，加拿大已經開始了這一進程。

隨着XRP鯨魚數量的激增，在美國土壤上推出XRP ETF將點燃這款山寨幣在規模上攀升的火焰。

Whales are piling into XRP, holding more tokens than ever before, thanks to institutional integrations, growing XRP Ledger usage, regulatory optimism and technical positioning.

Given that there is high speculation that a spot XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) will get the green light, this development has also increased whale accumulation.

According to Polymarket data, the chances of a spot XRP being rolled out before the close of 2025 has jumped to 90%.

Therefore, growing optimism around an XRP ETF and potential U.S. regulatory clarity, such as Ripple's SEC lawsuit developments, are encouraging whale and corporate accumulation 

For instance, Dubai’s financial watchdog recently permitted XRP’s operations within the Dubai International Financial Center (DIFC) 

According to Santiment data, the XRP Ledger (XRPL) is witnessing heightened growth due to the network’s low fees.

Notably, XRPL has the potential of becoming the cornerstone of tokenized real-world assets (RWA).

This is because XRPL is poised to offer users a cost-effective and efficient solution for buying, selling, storing, and transferring real-world assets without dependence on traditional fiat currencies.

Therefore, these developments are enhancing XRP whale activity as the number of active addresses reached 1.12 million in the past week.

### Canada’s First-Ever XRP ETF Rolls Out

Purpose Investments has set the ball rolling for Canada’s first spot XRP ETF after recently securing regulatory approval, offering investors direct exposure to the world’s fourth-largest cryptocurrency through traditional brokerage accounts.

Vlad Tasevski, the chief innovation officer at Purpose Investments, acknowledged, “We’re proud to continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the space by offering investors simple, secure access to the infrastructure powering real-world blockchain adoption.”

### Why a Spot XRP ETF Is Being Waited With Bated Breath on American Soil

The cryptocurrency community is eagerly anticipating the potential approval of a spot XRP ETF in the U.S., a development that could mark a major turning point for the digital asset and the broader crypto market 

Unlike futures-based ETFs that derive value from contracts, a spot ETF directly tracks the price of XRP, offering investors a simpler, more transparent way to gain exposure to the asset without the complexities of managing private wallets or exchanges.

One of the main reasons excitement is building is regulatory clarity. After Ripple’s partial legal victory against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 2023, which ruled that XRP is not a security when traded on secondary markets, the path for institutional acceptance has become less murky 

This pivotal legal precedent sets XRP apart from many other altcoins still entangled in regulatory uncertainty—making it a more attractive candidate for ETF consideration.

The infrastructure and demand are also in place. XRP boasts one of the most active and scalable blockchains in the crypto ecosystem, with lightning-fast settlement times and low transaction fees.

Institutional players have increasingly shown interest in XRP for cross-border payments, and the addition of a spot ETF could act as a catalyst for mainstream adoption. It would allow asset managers, retirement funds, and everyday investors to gain regulated exposure through traditional brokerage accounts—greatly expanding XRP’s market reach.

Furthermore, recent precedent adds momentum. With the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in early 2024 and growing interest in Ethereum ETFs, investors now see a clearer roadmap for XRP to follow suit 

The launch of a spot XRP ETF could inject fresh capital into the ecosystem, increase price stability through higher liquidity, and reinforce investor confidence at a time when the crypto market is maturing.

Lastly, the community’s sentiment is electric. XRP holders have long considered their token undervalued relative to its utility and global partnerships 

A spot ETF would not only validate the asset’s legitimacy but also unlock a new era of growth and visibility for Ripple’s technology and ecosystem.

### Conclusion

The wait for a spot XRP ETF in the U.S. reflects more than just market speculation, it signals a broader desire for legitimacy, accessibility, and institutional-grade crypto exposure with Canada already setting the ball rolling 

With XRP’s whale count going through the roof, the roll out of an XRP ETF on American soil will ignite the altcoin’s fire when it comes to scaling heights.

聯邦和州當局已宣布恢復或凍結與欺詐性投資計劃相關的超過2.25億美元的加密貨幣，這些計劃欺騙了數百名美國受害者。在協調行動中，司法部查獲了2.25億美元與廣泛的加密騙局相關，而紐約官員從一個針對講俄語居民的假社交媒體廣告的單獨行動中恢復並凍結了44萬美元。

## 美國司法部查獲與投資詐騙相關的2.25億美元加密貨幣，打擊力度加大

爲了遏制與加密貨幣相關的欺詐行爲的上升，美國司法部(DOJ)宣布查封了超過2.25億美金的數字資產，這些資產據稱與投資騙局有關。此次查封由美國特勤局執行，並於周三宣布，標志着美國歷史上最大的加密貨幣沒收事件之一，並強調了在數字金融普及過程中對消費者保護日益關注的趨勢。

美國司法部提交了一項民事沒收投訴——一種允許政府扣押與非法活動相關財產的法律機制——針對這些資產。與刑事指控不同，這種投訴是針對資產本身，而不一定是個人，即使沒有人被控以犯罪，這些投訴也可以繼續進行。據報道，相關資金與源自欺詐性加密貨幣投資計劃的洗錢活動有關，這些計劃欺騙了全國數百名受害者。

### '殺豬盤' 在欺詐的中心

根據美國司法部的說法，這些騙局涉及一種通常被稱爲“豬肉屠宰”的欺詐形式。這種策略包括在幾周或幾個月內與受害者培養一種虛假的關係以建立信任——“讓豬變胖”——然後說服他們在欺詐性的加密項目或交易平台中投資越來越多的資金。

Tether，全球使用最廣泛的穩定幣USDT的發行方，在一篇博客文章中確認它協助美國當局進行調查和查封工作。該公司之前已承諾與執法機構合作，封鎖與犯罪活動相關的地址。

美國司法部的公告是在對加密貨幣相關犯罪規模日益關注的背景下發布的。根據聯邦調查局互聯網犯罪投訴中心的數據，僅在2024年，加密投資騙局導致超過58億美元的報告損失。同年，數字資產欺詐的總損失超過93億美元，詐騙者繼續利用加密生態系統中相對匿名性和缺乏消費者保護的特點。

紐約當局於周三宣布的另一項行動中，查獲了140,000美元，並凍結了另外300,000美元，這與在社交媒體平台上涉及虛假投資廣告的類似計劃有關。這一欺詐行爲影響了至少300人，造成的損失超過100萬美元。

### 政治和監管背景

在一次發布揭示民事沒收案件的新聞發布會上，皮羅被問及司法部是否會對審查總統唐納德·特朗普與加密貨幣行業的關係採取類似的強硬方法，尤其是在他最近的公開支持和圍繞該領域的政治勢頭的背景下。

雖然沒收程序並不自動意味着受害者將獲得賠償，但它顯著提高了資金最終被歸還的可能性。在像這樣的民事沒收案件中，法院通常會評估政府是否在“證據優勢”標準下證明這些資產與犯罪活動有關。

受害者預計將在法律程序結束後的賠償階段被聯繫。然而，考慮到案件的規模和復雜性，完全恢復可能需要數年時間。

盡管如此，許多人將這一舉措視爲加密貨幣執法的一個裏程碑時刻。

## 紐約當局打擊針對俄語人士的加密投資騙局，追回超過44萬美元

與此同時，在協調一致的執法工作中，紐約州官員宣布追回 140,000 美元的被盜加密貨幣，並凍結另外 300,000 美元，該騙局與一個廣泛的加密貨幣投資騙局有關，該騙局以布魯克林地區及其他地區的講俄語的居民爲獵物。該行動利用欺騙性的社交媒體廣告引誘受害者，已經確定了 300 多人的身分，他們遭受了總計超過 100 萬美元的經濟損失。

該調查由布魯克林地方檢察官辦公室、紐約州總檢察長辦公室和紐約州金融服務部(DFS)主導，旨在 dismantling 他們所描述的復雜且有針對性的欺詐操作。

“這些騙子在Facebook上針對講俄語的人發布誘人的廣告，我的辦公室與DFS和布魯克林地區檢察官辦公室合作，採取行動制止這些騙子，保護紐約人，”紐約總檢察長萊蒂西亞·詹姆斯在周三發布的聲明中表示。

詹姆斯還對州居民發出了嚴厲警告：“我敦促所有紐約人警惕在線加密貨幣投資廣告。如果某件事看起來好得令人難以置信，那它很可能就是這樣。”

### 詐騙是如何運作的

據執法官員稱，犯罪分子利用Facebook和其他社交媒體平台發布用俄語撰寫的專業設計廣告，提供看似豐厚的虛擬貨幣投資回報。這些廣告引導用戶訪問一個虛假的加密投資網站，該網站錯誤地聲稱持有BitLicense——紐約州對在該州運營的加密貨幣公司的官方監管許可證。

使用僞造的BitLicense尤其陰險，因爲它爲這個騙局增添了一層合法性的外衣，並幫助降低了潛在受害者的警惕。紐約的BitLicense於2015年推出，以其嚴格的監管要求而聞名，許多加密貨幣用戶將其與強大的消費者保護聯繫在一起。

Meta，Facebook的母公司，與當局合作， reportedly 在被通知調查後刪除了700多個欺詐廣告。

此案例增加了一個日益增長的“黑帽”廣告詐騙名單——這些廣告利用社交媒體平台廣告審核系統中的漏洞，針對毫無戒心的用戶，以虛假或誤導性的主張進行加密貨幣投資。

近年來，這些詐騙變得越來越難以追蹤，特別是當它們針對小衆羣體時，例如講俄語或其他非英語羣體。通過縮小目標範圍，詐騙者可以顯得更可信，並且通常會根據文化信任線索和語言熟悉度量身定制他們的計劃。

這種策略更引人注目的例子是冒充 Ripple 首席執行官布拉德·加林豪斯 （Brad Garlinghouse） 的虛假 XRP 空投，它承諾用戶免費加密貨幣以換取少量“激活費”。這些廣告濫用了 Garlinghouse 的形象並引用了 Ripple 針對美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 的備受矚目的法律訴訟，以提高可信度。

### 加密詐騙隨着技術發展而演變

此案件還突顯了人們對加密詐騙者不斷演變的策略日益增長的擔憂，特別是隨着人工智能(AI)等新技術開始在欺詐活動中被使用。已經有各種欺詐案件中記錄了AI生成的深度僞造、聲音複製和自動化詐騙機器人。

最近，區塊鏈分析公司Chainalysis的報告顯示，涉及數字資產的非法交易量在2024年達到了約510億美元。盡管勒索軟體支付下降了35%，但投資詐騙和社交工程攻擊依然居高不下，部分原因是利用AI工具制作更具說服力的敘述和網絡釣魚嘗試。

盡管對約440,000美元的加密資產的查封和凍結是向前邁出的一步，但執法官員承認，所有受害者的全面賠償遠非有保障。法律程序將決定何時以及如何將追回的資金返還給那些受騙者。

該案例還引發了關於平台責任、加密監管執法以及數字資產消費者保護的更廣泛問題，在這個詐騙越來越以規模化和技術復雜性進行的時代。

布魯克林區檢察官埃裏克·岡薩雷斯贊揚了迅速的多機構反應，並承諾將繼續努力保護紐約人免受數字領域的金融犯罪。

The seizure, executed by the US Secret Service and announced Wednesday, marks one of the largest cryptocurrency forfeitures in US history and underscores a growing focus on consumer protection amid the proliferation of digital finance.

The DOJ filed a civil forfeiture complaint — a legal mechanism allowing the government to seize property linked to illegal activity — against the assets. Unlike criminal charges, such complaints are directed at the assets themselves, not necessarily individuals, and can proceed even if no one is charged with a crime. The funds in question are reportedly tied to money laundering efforts stemming from fraudulent cryptocurrency investment schemes that duped hundreds of victims across the country.

### 'Pig Butchering' at the Center of the Fraud

According to the DOJ, the scams involved a form of fraud commonly referred to as “pig butchering.” This tactic entails cultivating a fake relationship with a victim over weeks or months to build trust — "fattening the pig" — before persuading them to invest increasing sums in fraudulent crypto projects or trading platforms.

Tether, the issuer of the world’s most widely used stablecoin, USDT, confirmed in a blog post that it assisted US authorities in the investigation and seizure efforts. The company has previously committed to working with law enforcement to block addresses associated with criminal activity.

The DOJ’s announcement comes amid growing alarm over the scale of cryptocurrency-related crime. In 2024 alone, crypto investment scams led to more than $5.8 billion in reported losses, according to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center. Total losses from digital asset fraud in the same year exceeded $9.3 billion, as scammers continued to exploit the relative anonymity and lack of consumer safeguards within the crypto ecosystem.

A separate action by New York authorities, also announced Wednesday, saw $140,000 seized and another $300,000 frozen in a similar scheme involving fake investment advertisements on social media platforms. That fraud impacted at least 300 people and caused losses topping $1 million.

### Political and Regulatory Backdrop

At a press conference unveiling the civil forfeiture case, Pirro was asked whether the Justice Department would apply a similarly aggressive approach to examining President Donald Trump’s connections to the cryptocurrency industry, especially in light of his recent public endorsements and the political momentum surrounding the space.

While the forfeiture process does not automatically mean victims will receive compensation, it significantly raises the likelihood that funds will eventually be returned. In civil forfeiture cases like this one, courts typically evaluate whether the government has demonstrated, on a "preponderance of the evidence" standard, that the assets were involved in criminal activity.

Victims of the scams are expected to be contacted during the restitution phase once legal proceedings conclude. However, given the size and complexity of the case, full recovery may take years.

Still, many see the move as a landmark moment for crypto enforcement.

## New York Authorities Disrupt Crypto Investment Scam Targeting Russian Speakers, Recover Over $440K

Meanwhile, in a coordinated law enforcement effort, New York state officials have announced the recovery of $140,000 in stolen cryptocurrency and the freezing of an additional $300,000 tied to a widespread cryptocurrency investment scam that preyed on Russian-speaking residents in the Brooklyn area and beyond. The operation, which utilized deceptive social media ads to lure victims, has already led to the identification of more than 300 individuals who suffered financial losses totaling over $1 million.

The investigation was spearheaded by the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office, New York State Attorney General’s office, and the New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS), with the goal of dismantling what they described as a sophisticated and targeted fraud operation.

“These scammers targeted Russian speakers on Facebook with enticing ads, and my office, together with DFS and the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office, took action to stop these scammers and protect New Yorkers,” said New York Attorney General Letitia James in a statement issued Wednesday.

James also issued a stern warning to state residents: “I urge all New Yorkers to be vigilant of online cryptocurrency investment ads. If something looks too good to be true, it probably is.”

### How the Scam Operated

According to law enforcement officials, the perpetrators used Facebook and other social media platforms to publish professionally designed ads written in Russian, offering lucrative returns on supposed cryptocurrency investments. These ads led users to a fake crypto investment website that falsely claimed to hold a BitLicense—New York’s official regulatory license for cryptocurrency firms operating in the state.

The use of a counterfeit BitLicense was especially insidious, as it added a veneer of legitimacy to the scam and helped lower the guard of potential victims. New York’s BitLicense, introduced in 2015, is known for its rigorous regulatory requirements, and many crypto users associate it with strong consumer protections.

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, cooperated with authorities and reportedly removed more than 700 fraudulent ads after being notified of the investigation.

This case adds to a growing list of “Black Hat” advertisement scams—ads that exploit loopholes in social media platforms’ ad vetting systems to target unsuspecting users with false or misleading claims about cryptocurrency investments.

In recent years, these scams have become increasingly difficult to track, especially when they target niche communities, such as Russian speakers or other non-English-speaking groups. By narrowing their focus, scammers can appear more trustworthy and often tailor their schemes to exploit cultural trust cues and language familiarity.

Among the more high-profile examples of this tactic were fake XRP airdrops impersonating Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, which promised users free crypto in exchange for small “activation fees.” These ads misused Garlinghouse’s image and references to Ripple’s high-profile legal case against the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to boost credibility.

### Crypto Scams Evolve with Technology

The case also highlights growing concerns about the evolving tactics of crypto scammers, particularly as new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) begin to be used in fraud campaigns. AI-generated deepfakes, voice cloning, and automated scam bots have already been documented in various fraud cases.

A recent report from blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis revealed that illicit transaction volume involving digital assets reached approximately $51 billion in 2024. While ransomware payments saw a 35% decline, investment scams and social engineering attacks remained stubbornly high, fueled in part by the use of AI tools to craft more convincing narratives and phishing attempts.

Though the seizure and freezing of approximately $440,000 in crypto assets is a promising step forward, law enforcement officials acknowledged that full restitution for all victims is far from guaranteed. Legal proceedings will now determine how and when the recovered funds can be returned to those defrauded.

The case also raises broader questions about platform responsibility, crypto regulatory enforcement, and digital asset consumer protection in an age where scams are increasingly conducted at scale and with technological sophistication.

Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez commended the swift multi-agency response and pledged continued efforts to protect New Yorkers from financial crime in the digital realm.

* 企業加密貨幣多樣化的意義
一股新的Solana採用浪潮正在點燃股市，華爾街巨頭Cantor Fitzgerald開始對以SOL爲主的上市公司展開看漲覆蓋，而9GAG的MemeStrategy因高調的Solana國庫購買而登上頭條。

結果：持有SOL的公司的股價飆升，爲企業加密多樣化提供了新的操作手冊，越來越多的跡象表明Solana正在成爲前瞻性財務部門的首選區塊鏈。

## Cantor Fitzgerald 對 SOL 國債的溢價

Cantor Fitzgerald支持持有Solana國庫的上市公司，給予它們“超配”評級，並預測這些股票的交易價格應高於其淨資產價值(NAV)以SOL計。該公司的分析師由Thomas Shinske領導，他們認爲Solana快速的開發者增長、高吞吐量和低交易成本使其成爲鏈上金融相比於以太坊的更優選擇。


> “我們相信，SOL 財庫公司正在押注金融的未來將是鏈上，並且選擇的鏈將是 Solana，” Shinske 寫道，並補充說這些公司可以“遵循 Saylor 的操作手冊”——以溢價融資，購買 SOL，並比比特幣財庫更快地提升每股 SOL。
> 
> 

Cantor 的覆蓋範圍包括 DeFi Development Corp (DFDV)、Upexi (UPX) 和 Sol Strategies (HODL)，目標價遠高於當前交易水平。尤其是 DFDV，由於其美國資本市場準入和加密原生管理，它被強調爲最有潛力的 SOL 財資公司。該報告還贊揚了 Sol Strategies 的前瞻性方法，並指出其即將在美國上市。

## 9GAG 的 MemeStrategy：Solana 的微策略？

隨着由9GAG管理的科技投資部門MemeStrategy成爲首家在香港上市的投資Solana的公司，市場的反應愈發強烈。MemeStrategy購買了2,440 SOL (，約368,820)美元，公司的股票因此漲近29%。

該公司的董事會提到，Solana在現實世界資產代幣化、AI驅動的Web3解決方案以及其權益證明獎勵方面的潛力是這一舉動的關鍵原因。

通過參與質押，MemeStrategy旨在以比傳統比特幣國庫公司更快的速度增長其SOL/股份——Cantor Fitzgerald表示，這一策略可能會超過MicroStrategy的比特幣投資。

這種方法引起了投資者的共鳴：MemeStrategy 的市值飆升至超過 8300 萬美元，該公司現在將自己定位爲亞洲第一家將社交媒體、人工智能和區塊鏈融入其財務業務的數字資產企業。

## 爲什麼選擇Solana而不是Ethereum？華爾街的新理論

康托爾·菲茨傑拉德 （Cantor Fitzgerald） 的認可標志着傳統金融看待山寨幣國債的方式發生了重大轉變。雖然以太坊在採用率和總價值鎖定(TVL)方面仍然處於領先地位，但 Cantor 的分析師強調了 Solana 卓越的開發人員增長、更低的費用和更好的高頻金融應用程序可擴展性。

他們的報告表明，擁有Solana國庫的公司可以將質押獎勵與資本募集相結合，以比專注於BTC或ETH的公司更快地增長他們的SOL/股。

最近的市場行動支持了這一論點：自四月中旬以來，像Upexi和DeFi Development Corp這樣的Solana財政公司分別上漲了306%和207%，而SOL自身僅上漲了19%。Sol Strategies也上漲了33%，顯示華爾街的溢價已經被計入。

## DeFi TVL 和估值指標

Solana的基本面也在不斷增強。自四月以來，Solana上的DeFi總鎖倉價值（TVL）已漲28%，達到93.4億美元——這表明對該協議及其生態系統的信心正在增強。期貨未平倉合約也穩固在73.5億美元，反映出機構投資者的交易活躍度和看漲情緒加劇。

在估值方面，Cantor Fitzgerald 指出，重 SOL 的公司現在的交易價格高於其持有的標的 SOL，這與過去常見的折價相反。通過將財務業務與質押和 DeFi 參與相結合，這些公司將自己定位爲增長和收益參與者——這在當今市場上是一個獨特的主張。

## 企業加密貨幣多元化的意義

與 SOL 相關的股票激增以及華爾街和亞洲領先的模因平台的認可標志着企業加密戰略的更廣泛轉變。隨着越來越多的公司將目光投向比特幣和以太坊之外，Solana 將速度、可擴展性和質押獎勵相結合，使其成爲尋求運營效用和財務收益的公司極具吸引力的國庫資產。

這一趨勢可能會加速，因爲越來越多的上市公司遵循“Saylor 操作手冊”，並加入 Solana 的元素——融資、購買 SOL，並利用 DeFi 來增強收益。對投資者來說，信息很明確：Solana 的企業採納浪潮才剛剛開始，市場正在獎勵早期進入者。

**底線**

隨着華爾街的認可和高調的企業舉措，Solana 正迅速成爲財務策略的首選山寨幣——重新塑造公司和投資者對數字時代加密貨幣風險和增長的看法。

A new wave of Solana adoption is electrifying the stock market, as Wall Street heavyweight Cantor Fitzgerald initiates bullish coverage on SOL-heavy public companies and 9GAG’s MemeStrategy makes headlines with a high-profile Solana treasury buy. 

The result: a surge in share prices for firms holding SOL, a new playbook for corporate crypto diversification, and growing signs that Solana is emerging as the blockchain of choice for forward-thinking treasuries.

## Cantor Fitzgerald’s Premium on SOL Treasuries

Cantor Fitzgerald has thrown its weight behind public companies with Solana treasuries, assigning them “overweight” ratings and forecasting that these stocks should trade at a premium to their net asset value (NAV) in SOL. The firm’s analysts, led by Thomas Shinske, argue that Solana’s rapid developer growth, high throughput, and low transaction costs make it a superior choice for on-chain finance compared to Ethereum. 


> “We believe SOL treasury companies are betting the future of finance will be on-chain and that the chain of choice will be Solana,” Shinske wrote, adding that these firms can “follow the Saylor playbook”—raising capital at a premium, buying SOL, and boosting SOL-per-share faster than Bitcoin treasuries.

Cantor’s coverage includes DeFi Development Corp (DFDV), Upexi (UPX), and Sol Strategies (HODL), with price targets set well above current trading levels. DFDV, in particular, is highlighted as the best-positioned SOL treasury company due to its US capital markets access and crypto-native management. The report also praises Sol Strategies for its forward-thinking approach, noting its imminent US listing.

## 9GAG’s MemeStrategy: The MicroStrategy of Solana?

The rally intensified after MemeStrategy, the tech investment arm managed by 9GAG, became the first publicly listed Hong Kong company to invest in Solana. MemeStrategy bought 2,440 SOL (about $368,820), with shares jumping nearly 29% in response. 

The firm’s board cited Solana’s potential for real-world asset tokenization, AI-driven Web3 solutions, and its proof-of-stake rewards as key reasons for the move. 

By participating in staking, MemeStrategy aims to grow its SOL/share at a faster rate than traditional Bitcoin treasury companies—a strategy Cantor Fitzgerald says could outperform the likes of MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin play.

This approach is resonating with investors: MemeStrategy’s market cap surged to over $83 million, and the company is now positioning itself as Asia’s first digital asset venture to blend social media, AI, and blockchain into its treasury operations.

## Why Solana Over Ethereum? Wall Street’s New Thesis

Cantor Fitzgerald’s endorsement marks a significant shift in how traditional finance views altcoin treasuries. While Ethereum still leads in adoption and total value locked (TVL), Cantor’s analysts highlight Solana’s superior developer growth, lower fees, and better scalability for high-frequency financial applications. 

Their report suggests that companies with Solana treasuries can combine staking rewards with capital raises to grow their SOL/share faster than BTC or ETH-focused firms.

Recent market action supports this thesis: since mid-April, Solana treasury firms like Upexi and DeFi Development Corp have outpaced SOL itself, rising 306% and 207% respectively, compared to SOL’s 19% gain. Sol Strategies is also up 33%, showing that Wall Street’s premium is already being priced in.

## DeFi TVL and Valuation Metrics

Solana’s fundamentals are also strengthening. DeFi TVL on Solana has climbed 28% since April, reaching $9.34 billion—an indicator of growing confidence in the protocol and its ecosystem. Futures open interest has also consolidated at a robust $7.35 billion, reflecting heightened trading activity and bullish sentiment among institutional investors.

For valuation, Cantor Fitzgerald notes that SOL-heavy firms are now trading at a premium to their underlying SOL holdings, a reversal from the discount often seen in the past. By combining treasury operations with staking and DeFi participation, these companies are positioning themselves as both growth and yield plays—a unique proposition in today’s market.

## What It Means for Corporate Crypto Diversification

The surge in SOL-linked stocks and the endorsement from both Wall Street and Asia’s leading meme platform signal a broader shift in corporate crypto strategy. As more firms look beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, Solana’s blend of speed, scalability, and staking rewards is making it an attractive treasury asset for companies seeking both operational utility and financial upside.

This trend could accelerate as more public companies follow the “Saylor playbook” with a Solana twist—raising capital, buying SOL, and leveraging DeFi to enhance returns. For investors, the message is clear: Solana’s corporate adoption wave is just beginning, and the market is rewarding early movers.

**The Bottom Line**

With Wall Street’s seal of approval and high-profile corporate moves, Solana is quickly becoming the altcoin of choice for treasury strategies—reshaping how companies and investors think about crypto exposure and growth in the digital age.
