According to Cointelegraph, the major darknet marketplace Huione is reportedly still operational and expanding, even after the closure of its website and Telegram channels. On May 13, Haowang Guarantee, previously known as Huione Guarantee, announced its shutdown following the banning of thousands of associated accounts and channels by the Telegram messaging service. However, a report by Chainalysis on Thursday revealed that the marketplace's activities have not diminished since the supposed shutdown. The report highlighted that the platform continues to handle billions of dollars in transactions, indicating a robust system that functions largely independently of its public-facing infrastructure. The U.S. Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) proposed on May 1 to prohibit the Huione Group from accessing the American banking system, accusing it of aiding North Korea's state-sponsored Lazarus Group in laundering cryptocurrency. Typically, U.S. banks respond swiftly to such announcements to mitigate regulatory risks. Despite this, Huione has demonstrated resilience against these measures. Chainalysis noted that while Huione likely lost access to U.S. dollars following the FinCEN notice, transactional data suggests minimal operational impact. In fact, transaction volumes for the Huione Group increased after the FinCEN announcement. A report from crypto analytics firm TRM Labs on May 30 stated that the Huione Group continues to operate channels for its VIP vendors and has received at least $81 billion in cryptocurrency since 2021, surpassing the Hydra marketplace. Huione is identified as a central conduit for various cyber-enabled criminal activities, including scams, fraud, and cyber heists. Additionally, Huione's cryptocurrency exchange platform has resurfaced, retaining its old logo under a new domain, with active social media accounts across different platforms, including Telegram. The Cambodian conglomerate Huione Group oversees a network of businesses, including the payment service platform Huione Pay PLC, the crypto exchange Huione Crypto, and Haowang Guarantee. Chainalysis emphasized that the persistence of the Huione Group and its subsidiaries underscores the broader challenge of tackling sophisticated organized criminal groups that operate at scale while evading law enforcement. An ecosystem-wide response, involving sustained, multi-vector enforcement strategies, is necessary to effectively address illicit entities like Huione. Chainalysis suggested that addressing these networks may require updated enforcement strategies that go beyond surface-level takedowns and focus on the complex underlying architecture supporting them.

Odaily Planet Daily News According to CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr, the senior net UTXO supply ratio peaked at 0.96 on June 11 and fell back to 0.806 within 48 hours. If the ratio continues to be below 0.80 on a daily basis, it will form a classic "buy signal", and the $102-105K range may become the basis for a new round of rebound. However, if the BTC price falls below $100,000, the selling pressure may increase again. Market dynamics: Due to geopolitical tensions, crude oil and gold have risen as safe-haven assets; Israel's preemptive strike on Iran has caused the stock market to fall; Mainstream CEX has liquidated $360 million in long positions in the past 24 hours.
