    US Secret Service freezes $52.8m in Xinbi Guarantee cryptoassets

    Legal Policy Action Update

    US Secret Service and Elliptic said they identified and froze $52.8m in cryptoassets linked to Xinbi Guarantee, adding pressure on the Chinese-language marketplace that Treasury sanctioned alongside SafeW Technology and Anwen Technology for supporting fraud and money laundering. Elliptic warned that merchants and users could have their wallets identified and frozen, and Xinbi Guarantee later appeared offline after Telegram deleted main channels linked to the marketplace.
