The Supreme Procuratorate issued a document: Systematically breaking through the threefold dilemma of using virtual currency for money laundering regulation in criminal law

According to a report by the Procuratorial Daily, researchers from the People's Procuratorate of Yuhu District, Xiangtan City, Hunan Province, and the Law School of Xiangtan University have jointly written an article proposing a systematic response plan to the regulatory dilemmas of money laundering crimes using virtual currency. The article points out that current judicial practice faces three major dilemmas: first, Article 191 of the Criminal Law limits money laundering crimes to seven types of upstream crimes, resulting in many cases being treated as "concealment crimes"; second, methods such as mixers, privacy coins, and cross-chain transfers lead to fragmented evidence chains, making traditional investigative methods difficult to penetrate; third, conflicts in the legal attributes of virtual currency, a vacuum in procedural rules, and barriers to cross-border cooperation make it difficult to recover assets.In response, the article suggests promoting "dual investigations for one case," establishing the principle of self-authentication of blockchain data, constructing a tiered standard of proof, and establishing a national-level custody and disposal platform for involved virtual currencies, while actively promoting the signing of special agreements for international criminal justice assistance in virtual currency crimes.

TeraWulf finalizes a $19 billion AI lease; BitGo Holdings drops over 77% after going public, as the crypto IPO sector falls into systemic downturn

According to BBX data, last week the completion of the most significant contract for Bitcoin mining company AI transformation was announced, and data on the market performance of crypto-listed companies post-IPO further reveals the industry's valuation dilemma. The core dynamics are as follows:TeraWulf Inc. (NASDAQ: $WULF) disclosed last week through SEC 8-K that the company signed a 20-year AI infrastructure lease with AI leader Anthropic (privately held) ------ the lease subject is TeraWulf's Justified Data campus located in Hawesville, Kentucky, totaling approximately 401 megawatts of IT critical load, expected to generate about $19 billion in contract lease revenue during the initial 20-year lease term (supported by expected investment-grade credit), with the first capacity expected to be delivered in H2 2027, and full capacity of 401MW expected to reach production by early 2028. On the same day, TeraWulf sold its 50.1% stake in the AI data center JV in Abilene, Texas (168MW), with the buyer being a consortium of investors led by Fluidstack, for a total consideration of approximately $530 million (in three phases: $250 million down payment within 14 days, $150 million by the end of 2026, and about $130 million by the end of April 2027), realizing a premium on the original $450 million investment, with the proceeds reinvested into TeraWulf's wholly-owned AI infrastructure projects. CEO Paul Prager: "This milestone collaboration demonstrates our ability to provide large-scale, power-secure infrastructure for top AI clients." $WULF rose over 16% during the day, and after the announcement, several institutions raised their target prices: BofA (Buy, $34), Citi (Buy, $36), Needham (Buy, $33, up from $28), Rosenblatt (Buy, $30), with the average price from Wall Street analysts exceeding $33; the company's stock price has risen over 80% year-to-date, with Benzinga assessing the momentum score at 98.06 (extremely strong).According to INN data from July 8, BitGo Holdings (NYSE: $BTGO) has fallen about 77% since its listing at $22.43 in January 2026, becoming one of the worst performers in this round of crypto IPOs, marking a systemic downturn in the market for crypto asset companies post-IPO; during the same period, Bullish (NYSE: $BLSH) has dropped about 71% from its listing price of $90 in August 2025, eToro Group (NASDAQ: $ETOR) has fallen about 42% from its listing price in May 2025, Figure Technology Solutions (NASDAQ: $FIGR) has decreased about 14%, and only Circle Internet Group (NYSE: $CRCL) has dropped about 6% since its listing in June 2025, showing the smallest decline. The continued weak market performance has substantially frozen the pipeline for subsequent crypto IPOs: Kraken's parent company Payward suspended its listing process this spring, and Grayscale, Consensys, and Ledger have all postponed their IPO plans until market conditions improve.
