【Crypto World】According to on-chain intelligence agency TRM Labs’ tracking data, some seemingly legitimate trading platforms are becoming channels to evade sanctions. Two exchanges registered in the UK are acting as the same entity, handling approximately $1 billion worth of USDT (mainly circulating on the TRON network) involved in suspicious fund activities.

The data is alarming—87% of these platforms’ trading volume in 2024 is directed toward specific sanctioned entities. Even more concerning, the platforms have directly transferred over $10 million in stablecoins to individuals involved in terrorist financing.

This is not an isolated case. It reflects a deeper issue: while stablecoins are convenient and efficient, they also serve as hotbeds for money laundering activities. What does this mean for ordinary users? Choosing legitimate platforms with strong anti-money laundering mechanisms becomes especially crucial. KYC checks, source of funds tracing capabilities—these seemingly tedious procedures are actually defenses to protect you from being involved in gray areas.

On-chain transparency is a double-edged sword—it exposes wrongdoing but also reminds us that risks are everywhere.
