At the end of September 2022, Chen fabricated a story about his account being disconnected to deceive Hong into providing various verification codes.

He quickly sold these virtual currencies, making a profit of over 1.6 million yuan, which he used entirely to repay his personal debts.The Huli District Procuratorate legally prosecuted Chen for theft. According to Article 264 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, theft of public or private property, with particularly large amounts or other particularly serious circumstances, is punishable by more than ten years of fixed-term imprisonment or life imprisonment, and may also involve fines or confiscation of property.After hearing the case, the court sentenced Chen to eleven years in prison for theft and imposed a fine.

ChainCatcher news, according to Ledger Insights, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has released a paper exploring the financial stability risks of cryptocurrencies and decentralized finance (DeFi). It points out that although it is currently widely believed that the connection between cryptocurrencies and traditional finance (TradFi) is minimal, the issuance of Bitcoin ETFs, the expansion of stablecoins, and the ongoing development of tokenized real-world assets (RWA) have brought the cryptocurrency market size to a critical point that could trigger financial stability risks.Furthermore, the BIS report also notes that during market crises, small investors typically increase their exposure to cryptocurrencies, while "wealthy" investors tend to withdraw. Thus, the conclusion is drawn that the cryptocurrency market has become a means of transferring wealth from the poor to the rich.The BIS report suggests that DeFi should implement regulatory requirements similar to those in TradFi, including "know your customer" compliance constraints, information disclosure, and adequate training and qualification for market professionals.
