The US government has profited nearly $20 billion from the Chen Zhi and Zhao Changpeng cases by leveraging its technological hegemony Odaily Planet Daily News: The "Top Player" - Deep Analysis of Global Virtual Currency Asset Harvesting under US Technological Hegemony "jointly released by China's National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center and other departments showcases the process of the United States using technological hegemony to harvest global virtual currency assets. According to incomplete statistics, from 2022 to 2025, the United States has confiscated over $30 billion worth of global virtual currency assets through various cases, with the Chen Zhi case alone confiscating $15 billion in assets, accounting for 50% of the total. According to the report, in October 2025, the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York announced criminal charges against Chen Zhi, founder of the Cambodian Crown Prince Group, on charges of telecommunications fraud, money laundering, and other crimes. At the same time, it announced the confiscation of approximately 127000 bitcoins under its control, worth about $15 billion at market prices at the time, setting a record for the largest virtual asset confiscation in the history of the US Department of Justice. The case of Zhao Changpeng, the founder of Binance, is another typical example of the United States using judicial hegemony and technological surveillance to force global virtual asset platforms to comply with its regulatory rules and achieve economic harvesting and rule output. From 2023 to 2025, the United States will launch a "civil+criminal" dual accountability campaign against Zhao Changpeng, and ultimately, according to the plea agreement, Binance platform will pay a fine of $4.3 billion. During the investigation of the case, the United States utilized comprehensive technological monitoring methods to achieve comprehensive penetration and evidence collection of Binance operational data, user data, and transaction data, demonstrating its technological advantages in the field of digital asset platform monitoring.

The attack methods include backdoor implantation, spear phishing, supply chain penetration, etc., focusing on stealing user wallet private keys, platform transaction records, and compliance regulatory information. The attack targets platforms in multiple countries and regions in Asia, Europe, and Africa.
