Brothers, an article was published today on Global Network that may help you see the core inside story of the current cryptocurrency circle. Below is the content I have excerpted, and later there will be my personal views and opinions. The content is long, requiring some patience, but it is definitely worth a look.

Full Text of "Ready Player One" — In-depth Analysis of Global Cryptocurrency Asset Harvesting Actions Under US Technological Hegemony

(February 26, 2026, released by the National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center and the National Engineering Laboratory for Computer Virus Prevention and Control in collaboration with 360 Digital Security Group and An Tian Technology Group)

1. Trillion-level Digital Wealth: The New Target for US Plunder

As of the end of January 2026, the total market value of global virtual currencies was approximately $2.73 trillion, with Bitcoin's market value reaching $1.57 trillion, accounting for 47% of the total market value of global official gold reserves. Facing this digital wealth gold mine, the US has established a "trinity harvesting system" of "technological advantage - regulatory binding - institutional execution" leveraging its first-mover technological advantages, industrial aggregation advantages, a complete regulatory framework, and strong law enforcement capabilities. Through means such as cyber attacks, regulatory blockades, targeted harvesting, and overseas fishing, it has implemented precision and large-scale digital plunder, seriously infringing on the technical sovereignty, economic interests, and political security of countries around the world.

2. Scale of Harvesting: Over $30 Billion in Four Years, Two Cases Approaching $20 Billion

According to incomplete statistics, from 2022 to 2025, the United States confiscated virtual currency assets worth over $30 billion through various cases. Among them, two major typical cases amounted to nearly $20 billion seized by the United States:

The Chen Zhi Case: In October 2025, the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York confiscated 127,000 Bitcoins controlled by Chen Zhi, founder of the Cambodian Prince Group, on charges of telecom network fraud, money laundering, etc., with a market value of approximately $15 billion at the time, setting a record for the largest virtual asset confiscation in US judicial history.

 The Zhao Changpeng/Binance Case: From 2023 to 2025, the US launched a "civil + criminal" dual accountability against Binance, ultimately forcing Binance to pay a whopping $4.35 billion in fines.

3. The Trinity Harvesting System: Interaction of Technology, Regulation, and Institutions

1. Technological Hegemony: God Perspective, Global Exposure

 Core Technology Monopoly: Control over the core R&D rights of mainstream global blockchain protocols and the control of key nodes

 On-chain Traceability Monopoly: Leading US companies like Chainalysis and Elliptic occupy over 90% of the global on-chain traceability market, enabling precise tracking of any on-chain transaction.

State-sponsored Hacking Attacks: From 2023 to 2025, government-backed hacker organizations from the US conducted targeted attacks on over 20 mainstream cryptocurrency exchanges worldwide, cracking cold wallets and stealing private keys, highly integrated with law enforcement.

 Essence of the Chen Zhi Case: The US Department of Justice, under the guise of "cracking down on telecom fraud and money laundering," "legalized" the confiscation of Bitcoin stolen through state-level hacking techniques in 2020, which is a typical case of "black eating black".

2. Regulatory Binding: Long-arm Jurisdiction, Globalization of Domestic Laws

 Employing domestic laws like the Bank Secrecy Act as weapons to enforce long-arm jurisdiction: as long as transactions involve US dollars, US servers, or US users, cross-border law enforcement can be applied.

 Introducing the "GENIUS Act", requiring stablecoin issuers to purchase a majority of reserves in US Treasury bonds, turning global cryptocurrency liquidity into a "blood transfusion package" for US debt.

 Pre-set rules → Technical evidence gathering → Fine harvesting → Mandatory compliance restructuring, completing the closed-loop of rule output and economic harvesting

3. Institutional Execution: Strong Harvesting by the State Machine

 Collaboration amongst the Department of Justice, the Department of the Treasury, the FBI, and the NSA: the NSA is responsible for cyber attacks and theft, the FBI investigates and gathers evidence, and the Department of Justice files lawsuits, conducts civil forfeitures, and pursues criminal accountability, locking assets into the US Treasury.

4. Two Major Typical Cases: Full Exposure of the Harvesting Closed Loop

Chen Zhi Case: A Model of Black Eating Black Asset Plunder

The US uses the excuse of cracking down on transnational telecom fraud and money laundering to avoid the initial source of the assets, confiscating the Bitcoins stolen by hackers through judicial procedures to "clean" their origin. This undermines the law enforcement of other countries, resulting in secondary losses to the victims; it disrupts the global flow of virtual currencies and undermines the financial stability of emerging markets.

Zhao Changpeng/Binance Case: Dual Goals of Rule Output + Economic Harvesting

The US comprehensively infiltrated Binance's operations, users, and transaction data through technical monitoring, securing "illegal" evidence
achieving economic harvesting through hefty fines, while forcing Binance to accept compliance restructuring in the US, strengthening its rule dominance in the cryptocurrency field.

5. Ultimate Scheme: Consolidating Dollar Digital Hegemony

1. Direct Plunder: Supplementing the US Treasury through confiscation and fines, harvesting global digital wealth.

2. Strategic Stockpiling: Auctioning off confiscated assets is just the tip of the iceberg; more confiscated assets are being stockpiled by the US, establishing a "strategic Bitcoin reserve" to hedge against de-dollarization trends.

3. Dollar Binding: Controlling the regulatory rules of virtual assets and the flow of transactions, forcibly integrating the digital financial system into a dollar-dominated framework, preventing sanctioned countries from using virtual currencies to bypass dollar settlements, and reinforcing the effectiveness of financial long-arm jurisdiction.

6. Conclusion and Warning

The US has turned the global cryptocurrency market into a "private ATM," with virtual currencies devolving from financial innovation into a new tool for the US to plunder global wealth. In the global digital financial game, lacking effective checks and balances, the US, through first-mover technology and hegemonic thinking, has become the "ultimate dealer" above all players. This poses a challenge to the digital sovereignty of all countries and serves as a warning against the establishment of a fair and just new order in international finance.

Personal Views and Opinions:

Brothers, after reading this report, doesn't it send chills down your spine? This group of American dogs: through technical monitoring, long-arm laws, and state machinery tactics, has withdrawn over $30 billion from the cryptocurrency circle within just four years, specifically targeting major players, exchanges, and cross-border capital. Meanwhile, we small investors are innocently caught in the crossfire, getting liquidated, cut, and facing frozen accounts, etc. Isn't this outrageously unjust?

Brothers, having seen through the tricks of the foreigners, what should we do next? I believe we can take four approaches that not only help us avoid the flying knives but also allow us to sip the soup.

First is the invisible track: the more investigation the beautiful and big country conducts, the more valuable things become. Just think about it, they are chasing and investigating every day; what's most desirable? Of course, the things that can't be found are the most precious, like privacy coins, anonymous tools, and decentralized exchanges. These are essential needs, not random speculation, while BTC and ETH, being decentralized tokens, are the hardest. Leading players in anonymous payment and non-custodial DeFi also have significant opportunities. Why? Because even if the big and beautiful country excels, they cannot control truly decentralized things, they can only bully centralized platforms.

Next is the rebellious track: confronting the US dollar. The beautiful and big country now wants to bind stablecoins to US treasury bonds; what can other countries do? They certainly must develop their own stablecoins and regional settlement currencies. Thus, compliant non-US stablecoins, public chains in the Middle East and ASEAN, and cross-border payment projects still have great potential. This reflects the national will, which has long-term financial backing, not just short-term speculation.

Then there is the compliance track: the stricter the regulations, the more valuable legitimate companies become. The big and beautiful country’s harvesting aims to integrate the cryptocurrency circle into its system, rather than eliminate it. Hence, compliant assets are likely to become a safe haven for mainstream funds. In the future, Bitcoin ETF-related assets, compliant RWA on-chain entities, and exchange tokens of licensed exchanges all have opportunities to profit. Why? It’s clear that large funds only dare to enter compliant pools, which will raise all boats.

Lastly, be on the lookout for buying opportunities. Each time regulation hits or arrests occur, the market collapses. The point is, the beautiful and big country requires control, not the destruction of Bitcoin. Therefore, each market crash is a chance to collect chips. Buy BTC and ETH in batches during declines; do not chase highs or dabble in altcoins. A significant drop must rebound; history repeatedly proves this.

Looking forward, brothers, centralized exchanges will become increasingly strict, and decentralization along with privacy will be the safe harbor. The cryptocurrency circle will polarize: on one side is the US compliance circle and on the other side is the global de-dollarization circle. For us ordinary people, standing with the latter is safer. It’s undeniable that in the future, 90% of altcoins will go to zero; only BTC, ETH, and leading sectors of essential needs will survive. If nothing unexpected happens, the big and beautiful country will long-term suppress prices to accumulate shares for its strategic reserves. So during downturns, do not fear, it is an opportunity.

Finally, let me say, brothers, the big and beautiful country is not here to protect you; it is here to rob, set rules, and collect protection fees, harvesting the global market. Since we cannot change the facts, we can only adapt and respond. After all, if we survive this round of harvesting, we will be the ultimate winners. #JaneStreet10pointSell #CryptocurrencyMarketRebound #TrumpStateofUnionAddress #VitalikSellingCoins #TrumpNewGlobalTariffs
