BidenCash has been accused of selling millions of stolen credit cards and personal data, and since its operation began in 2022, it has sold over 15 million pieces of stolen payment card information, generating over $17 million in revenue.
In May this year, the United States destroyed multiple dark web drug trading platforms in 'Operation RapTor', arrested 270 people, and seized assets worth $200 million, including a large amount of cryptocurrency.
According to TRM Labs' 2025 cryptocurrency crime report, the total revenue of the dark web market exceeded $1.7 billion in 2024, showing a year-on-year increase. The report also noted that the Russian dark web market continues to dominate due to low local law enforcement risks.
