据 BeInCrypto 报道，一种名为"Hwanchigi（换钱）"的跨境洗钱手法已成为韩国加密犯罪的核心方式，自 2021 年至 2025年 8 月间，该手法涉及的非法加密交易金额高达 64 亿美元，占韩国同期非法加密交易总额 71 亿美元的 90%以上。该手法通过加密货币转账将非法资金转移至境外，绕开韩国受监管的银行体系。 2026 年上半年，韩国涉虚拟资产洗钱案件达 1,214 起，较 2025 年全年仅 8 起激增 152 倍，占同期加密犯罪总量的 79.4%。USDT 是主要犯罪媒介。然而执法效率严重滞后，上半年仅逮捕 18 人，远低于 2023 年的 42 人。韩国海关同期查获非法外汇交易达 7.2 万亿韩元（约 492 亿美元），逾 90%涉案资金流经无牌渠道。
According to BeInCrypto, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit officially issued the mandate in the SBF case on August 4, marking the formal conclusion of Sam Bankman-Fried's appellate proceedings. The one-page order affirmed the original verdict without providing any new reasoning, leaving his 25-year prison sentence and approximately $11 billion forfeiture order unchanged. Previously, on June 12, the panel rejected SBF's appeals on all seven counts. In the opinion, Judge Parker noted that while SBF publicly assured customers, investors, and regulators of the safety of FTX funds, he misappropriated customer funds for real estate, political donations, and personal investments. Currently, SBF's only remaining judicial recourse is to petition for a writ of certiorari from the U.S. Supreme Court within 90 days, but the Supreme Court's acceptance rate is extremely low. Additionally, SBF has separately submitted a clemency application to the Department of Justice, but Senators Cynthia Lummis and Ruben Gallego have jointly introduced a resolution opposing the granting of clemency to him.
According to BeInCrypto, the official verified X account of U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis was hacked on July 29. The account briefly posted a fake Solana Meme coin promotion post named $USA Token, featuring a pump.fun minting link. The post was deleted within approximately five minutes, accumulating around 5,600 views and 37 replies during that period. Crypto community users quickly issued warnings, and there are currently no records of financial losses. Lummis's office had not released any statement as of press time. The timing of this incident is sensitive, coinciding with the stalemate of the "Digital Asset Market Transparency Act" (CLARITY Act) championed by Lummis in Congress.
