US Feds Freeze $938M in Crypto After Telegram Market Bust

Federal authorities recently restrained about $52 million in scam linked cryptocurrency in a single day. This action happened during a major crackdown on a platform named Xinbi Guarantee. With this latest seizure, the total amount frozen by the Justice Department strike force sits at roughly $938 million.

United States Treasury officials report that this marketplace processed more than $24 billion in transactions. Investigators also found that the platform was allegedly used by North Korean hackers to launder funds. The massive operation highlights how law enforcement is tracking down illicit money moving through messaging apps and dark markets.

Traders should watch for further updates on international cybercrime investigations as authorities tighten the net around illicit crypto operations. This billion dollar crackdown shows that regulators are putting significant pressure on unauthorized marketplaces and the groups using them.
