Qian Zhimin pleaded guilty, 61,000 coins #BTC money laundering case shocked the world 🌍💰
This case is known as the largest cryptocurrency seizure case in the world to date. On September 29, Chinese national Qian Zhimin pleaded guilty at Southwark Crown Court in London, admitting to illegally obtaining and holding 61,000 BTC. These coins came from an investment scam in China between 2014 and 2017, involving amounts as high as $7.3 billion, with over 128,000 victims.
At that time, she illegally raised funds under the guise of high-return financial management through Tianjin Lantian Ge Rui Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. After the scam was exposed, she escaped to the UK in 2017 using a false identity, laundering money through Bitcoin and even buying luxury homes. Later, the British police conducted a raid and seized this batch of Bitcoin, which nearly doubled the UK's Bitcoin reserves. Her accomplice Jian Wen was sentenced last year for assisting in money laundering.
This time, Qian Zhimin pleaded guilty to only two charges: acquiring criminal property and holding/transferring criminal property. Her lawyer also stated that due to the surge in Bitcoin, its current value is enough to cover the victims' losses, hoping that the guilty plea can "bring comfort." However, this statement has also sparked considerable controversy.
The complexity of the case lies in the cross-border recovery of assets. The crime occurred in China, but the assets were seized in the UK, requiring judicial cooperation between the two countries. Currently, the UK High Court is still conducting civil recovery procedures to first confirm which assets can be directly returned to the victims, and only the remainder may be confiscated, to be distributed through negotiations between China and the UK.

Recently, Thumzup Media announced that it will inject funds into DogeHash to increase the mining effort for Dogecoin 💪. This is definitely good news for the Dogecoin community!
Although Dogecoin is often treated as a joke coin 😂, its miner network is actually quite large. It still uses the Scrypt algorithm, just like Litecoin, allowing for merged mining ⚡. This means that miners can mine Dogecoin while also mining Litecoin, making it very efficient!
DogeHash, as a platform focused on Dogecoin mining, is mainly investing this time to expand its computing power and improve mining efficiency 💻. Thumzup believes that with the increasing applications of Dogecoin in the payment field, its future value is worth looking forward to 📈.
Honestly, Dogecoin has been quite interesting in recent years. Although often joked about as a 'joke coin', it has indeed found its place in micro-payments and tipping scenarios 💰. Low transaction fees, fast speeds, and an active community make it sometimes more convenient than Bitcoin~
Of course, Musk's attention to Dogecoin has also been a driving force 🌟. His tweets, while causing the price to skyrocket and plummet, have also brought a lot of attention and users to Dogecoin.
So, Thumzup's investment this time is actually a bet on the long-term value of Dogecoin ✨. Mining is originally a long-term game, not a short-term speculation. Investing funds to expand computing power also means they are optimistic about Dogecoin's future 👍.
BTC SSR and stablecoin inflows both strengthen, suggesting potential rebound opportunities, but altcoin XPL has been severely hit
Recently, the crypto market has shown a "dual situation of hot and cold" — supported by on-chain data suggesting a potential rebound, while emerging altcoins #Plasma (XPL) have experienced an embarrassing price crash, leaving investors feeling "heartbroken." Let's break down these two starkly different market signals📊.#比特币价格震荡 BTC: Fund inflows suggest a potential rebound
On-chain analysis company CryptoQuant points out that Bitcoin investors should pay attention to five key on-chain indicators in the coming week.
The first striking signal comes from the stablecoin giant USDT: its market capitalization has maintained a significantly positive change over the past 60 days, currently around $10 billion. This indicates a large influx of new funds into the market💰, which is typically a potential catalyst for price increases.
DOGE is full of bullish signals; after breaking through key resistance, the next wave of upward potential may exceed 100%!
Dogecoin (DOGE) has recently been frequently releasing 'takeoff signals' 🚀 on the technical charts. As of the time of writing, the price is approximately $0.24, with a 24-hour trading volume of $1.88 billion. Although it has slightly dropped by nearly 2% in the past week, there are potential rebound opportunities in the recent trend.
📈 MACD Golden Cross: Momentum begins to warm up Analyst Trader Tardigrade pointed out that DOGE has appeared a MACD golden cross on the 12-hour chart — when the MACD line crosses above the signal line, it usually indicates that momentum may turn bullish.
The MACD histogram has turned green, indicating an increase in bullish strength
🔥 #ETH Recently performed poorly, attracting investor attention.
Compared to #BTC , the recent data for ETH is more concerning. In terms of trading volume, although BTC has not fluctuated much over the past six months, it has remained stable overall, with relatively strong purchasing power. In contrast, ETH's trading volume has been declining since August, and the downward trend is deepening, indicating a clear decrease in market interest.
💧 Capital flow is also deteriorating. Recent spot ETF data shows that last week, there was a net outflow of over 200,000 ETH, while the previous week saw a net inflow of about 140,000 ETH. Although the drop in secondary market trading volume is not significant, it is also declining, further indicating a lack of investor confidence.
📉 Overall, the market heat for ETH is clearly not as strong as BTC, and it may still face a period of observation and pressure in the short term. Investors should remain cautious and pay attention to changes in trading volume and capital flow. #比特币价格震荡
XLM bulls locking in at the $0.38 mark, Aster whales continue to sweep up without restraint, the market may enter an active game phase.
The crypto market remains thrilling this week, with Stellar (#XLM ) and $Aster tokens in the spotlight. One is preparing to challenge key resistance, while the other continues to plummet under whale 'buying'. Is this the starting point of a new market cycle, or just another emotional rollercoaster? Let's break down the trends. 🌌 XLM: Can the 'ceiling' of $0.38 be broken?
Stellar (XLM) has been oscillating between $0.35 and $0.38 in recent weeks, forming a typical 'box oscillation'. Support level: $0.35 Resistance level: $0.38
The current price is about $0.3656, gradually approaching the upper resistance.
I think the exchange's #BTC inventory is one of the important data indicators📊. The situation over the past week has been quite interesting— the number of Bitcoins in the exchange has been continuously decreasing, especially when the price suddenly surged on Monday, leading to a noticeable buying action that pushed down the exchange's inventory. #比特币价格震荡
However, looking closely at the data, this wave of buying was actually less than 500 BTC💡. In other words, from the data perspective, this increase was not caused by large capital buying aggressively, but rather because the selling pressure in the market is slowly disappearing, liquidity is tightening, and the price naturally goes up.
In other words, the market is quietly "de-stocking"; whether to buy or not is not the key; with fewer sellers, BTC will rise on its own📈.
Story's IP plummeted by 10%! The intellectual property storm triggered a $200 million "runaway tide"
Recently, the native token of Story Protocol #IP has been on a real "roller coaster". In just 24 hours, it dropped a full 10% on the leaderboard, and the reason behind this is actually related to intellectual property disputes…#比特币价格震荡
🧐$200 million capital outflow The cause of the issue is the Baby Shark token. This token issued on the Story platform is believed to infringe on the intellectual property of the entertainment company Pinkfong. Pinkfong directly stands up to deny any connection, it’s like adding fuel to the fire—investors are worried about legal risks and immediately sell off. The data speaks for itself:
So silly, the official account was hacked #bnb But it seems he doesn't understand how to play Just send a ca Can't even understand the hack, find a dead account, buy a 20b Send a ca, I'll come and take a lick
Reports indicate that the Solana spot ETF may be approved by the SEC as early as next week, and even if delayed, it could be implemented in early October.
Several institutions have submitted applications: Grayscale, Bitwise, VanEck, 21Shares, Canary, Franklin, Fidelity, CoinShares.
Especially with the addition of Franklin and Fidelity, significant capital inflow is expected, injecting strong momentum into the SOL market 💰✨
BTC poised to break key resistance, ETH's trillion-dollar shorts are on the verge of collapse! The crypto duo may welcome an explosive rally in October
The atmosphere in the crypto market is subtly shifting—on one side, #BTC constantly testing key resistance levels, while on the other, over a trillion in funds #ETH in short positions are on the brink of the "death line." Will the bulls soon gather? Are the shorts facing a wave of liquidations? The upcoming market movement may be more thrilling than you think🔥#加密市场反弹 🟠 BTC: Impacting the $115,000 milestone
Bitcoin has recently successfully defended the $112,000 mark, with bulls quickly launching a counterattack, consecutively breaking through $114,000 and $114,200, reaching a high of $114,770. The current price is consolidating above $114,200 and maintaining above the 100-hour moving average.
The NASDAQ-listed company #Bitmine Immersion Technologies has recently increased its holdings of #ETH , now owning 2.65 million units, accounting for over 2% of the total supply 💥. Last week, they quietly acquired 234,000 more units, aiming to reach 5% of the total supply! Chairman Tom Lee candidly stated that Ethereum currently feels like a "future discounted price," especially with huge potential in AI and Wall Street financial applications 🚀.
Compared to Bit Digital, BitMine's operations are more aggressive; if they truly reach 5%, they will become a significant institutional player in the ETH ecosystem. More importantly, they have been consistently buying during price corrections, which not only provides a boost to the market but also conveys a super bullish signal 📈. Tom Lee even ties the value of ETH to the future of AI and traditional finance, making ETH's narrative more substantial. If BitMine continues in this manner, their buying behavior itself could change the market supply and demand dynamics, instilling more confidence in everyone 💪.
🚀 The total market capitalization of cryptocurrency is rebounding! #加密市场反弹 Since last week's collapse, approximately $200 billion has flowed back into the market, and the total market capitalization has once again surpassed $4 trillion💰.
📈 #BTC is leading strongly On Tuesday's Asian morning, BTC hit $114,800, a new high for the week, easily recovering last week's losses. Analyst Daan Crypto Trades pointed out that BTC's dominance is rebounding, while altcoins are temporarily lagging behind, but this indicates that the rebound is more sustainable rather than a short-term short squeeze.
💡 The dominance index has risen to 59%, showing significant improvement compared to the low of 57% in mid-September. When BTC stabilizes, other coins usually follow the rhythm.
📅 Looking Ahead The podcast "Colin Talks Crypto" suggests that the peak of the cycle is most likely to occur from Q4 2026 to Q1 2027, particularly in December, which is worth paying close attention to🎯.
In the short term, BTC continues to show strength, and signs of a bull market are emerging in the medium to long term🔥, with market sentiment warming up.
October has traditionally been one of the strongest months for #BTC , with historical data showing that returns during this period are usually quite substantial. After experiencing a lackluster performance in the third quarter, October this year is expected to exhibit a similar trend.
Yesterday, BTC broke through the 113,000 mark with a considerable trading volume, showing a very stable trend. If prices can hold above this level in the coming week, bulls may continue the traditional strong performance of October.
From a short-term perspective, BTC's market dominance may see a rebound; while from a medium to long-term view, Ethereum (#ETH ) and Binance Coin (#bnb ) are still expected to continue gaining market share.
TRON aims for the $0.40 target, SHIB's potential increase of 340%, the next rebound may exceed market expectations!
In the crypto market, there are always some coins quietly accumulating energy, ready for a rebound at any moment. Recently, TRON (#TRX ) and Shiba Inu (#SHIB ) have become the focus of investor discussions. Both show strong signs of capital inflow and network activity, potentially welcoming a new round of explosion in the short term. Let's break down these key signals together!#加密市场反弹 TRX: The upward trend is solidifying, and $0.37 is in sight 📈
TRON performed actively in September, especially the trading activity on SunSwap reached a new high this year, with total transaction count exceeding 30,000, highlighting the important role of TRX in stablecoin settlement and remittances. Despite frequent market fluctuations, the usage rate remains steady, demonstrating continuous growth in network utility and instilling confidence among long-term investors.
