ChainCatcher news, the encryption data analysis company Bitrace has issued a warning that following the $1.5 billion hack of Bybit, a large-scale freezing wave targeting OTC groups and cryptocurrency payment companies is expected to occur in the coming months.Bitrace's research shows that this hacker organization not only uses unlicensed industry infrastructure for money laundering but also heavily relies on centralized platforms for dumping, which directly leads to a significant number of accounts of exchange users, whether intentionally or unintentionally receiving illicit funds, being subjected to risk control, and the business addresses of OTC merchants and payment institutions being frozen by Tether.After the DMM exchange in Japan was hacked in 2024, the attackers transferred $600 million to the payment institution HuionePay, resulting in $29 million being frozen in its hot wallet.

Currently, Huibang has reactivated a new business address TQuFSv and transferred 114,800 USDC from the frozen TNVaKW.In addition, the old related business address TL8TBp announced by the official is still in operation, and other guarantee and payment businesses have been operating normally for nearly half a year, with none of the related addresses being frozen.

ChainCatcher message, Bitrace conducted a fund analysis on Tron addresses with obvious OTC business characteristics, excluding centralized trading platforms, compliant cryptocurrency acceptance platforms, and large money laundering operations. The data shows that over the past 24 months, more than 3.439 billion risky USDT has flowed into these addresses.More than half of the inflow of USDT is classified as medium to high-risk funds, including 14.7% of gambling-related USDT, 20.1% of gray and black market-related USDT, and 19.4% of money laundering-related USDT.This indicates that receiving USDT from such addresses and their associated addresses is highly likely to lead to address contamination, making the funds in the address more susceptible to risk control by centralized platforms, and even subjecting the investors themselves to investigations by law enforcement agencies.
