Abstract

它们平等地帮助“好人”和“坏人”,因为如果他们要工作,他们就必须这样做。

战争和抗议应该是加密货币的重要时刻,因为它建立在消除传统权威的基础上。到目前为止,加密货币在对乌克兰的众筹援助工作中发挥了至关重要的作用,政府使用近 1 亿美元的加密捐款购买军事和人道主义设备,而乌克兰人和俄罗斯人都购买加密稳定币以逃避货币波动。 
但迄今为止,加密货币的逆向态度与它的守门人(即交易所)必须遵守的制裁混为一谈。
包括参议员伊丽莎白沃伦在内的一些观察家推测,俄罗斯可能会转向区块链来逃避制裁,尽管美国官员的分析表明并非如此。事实上,到目前为止,加密货币并没有逃避美国的制裁。3 月 7 日,Coinbase 透露,随着时间的推移,它已经封锁了超过 25,000 个俄罗斯地址,这些地址被认定为参与非法活动,据报道,该交易所通过自己的“积极调查”标记了这些地址,并与美国政府分享以“进一步支持制裁执法”。
迄今为止,主要的加密货币交易所拒绝了乌克兰政府禁止所有俄罗斯用户的请求,这将超出目前的制裁范围,但是,Kraken 首席执行官杰西鲍威尔在推特上表示,如果法律要求交易所这样做,它就会这样做。 
对加密可用于逃避制裁的论点的一种反驳是,比特币和以太坊过于透明。通过区块链浏览器可以很容易地观察到向区块链注入大量资金,在大多数情况下,它们甚至可以通过使用正确的工具与个人联系起来。这导致一些评论员表示,如果加密要兑现其最初的承诺,无论是好是坏,那么它需要更加私密。 
进入所谓的“隐私币”。比特币是世界上最大的加密货币,流动性高,更容易兑现,曾经与在线毒品交易有关,因为暗网上的经销商在匿名的承诺下接受了新兴的数字支付选项。但随着比特币已被更广泛的社会群体所接受,并且匿名交易开始与背后的个人联系起来,非法活动的比例已经减少,让位于门罗币和 Zcash 等隐私币。
也许是受到制裁消息的推动,头部隐私币本周经历了价格上涨,价值 100 亿美元的隐私币市场在 24 小时内飙升 10%,然后降温。
什么是隐私币?
问题的核心是加密货币通常允许任何人通过区块链浏览器(如以太坊的 Etherscan)查看其交易记录;在以太坊网络上查找pussyriot.eth的活动很容易。这种透明度还意味着金融机构和政府机构可以标记出用于犯罪的加密货币,使持有人无法在不被发现的情况下兑现犯罪所得。
为了响应区块链固有的透明度,出现了一波代币浪潮,它们部署了加密行业中一些最具创新性的加密技术。 
首先是门罗币,它自 2014 年就出现了,它使用三种加密技术将所有交易保密:隐形地址(在每笔交易中为接收者自动生成一次性地址)、环签名(一组签名涉及至少一个真实的人,这次是为了保护发送者的身份)和ringCT(环签名的改进版本)。
另一种隐私币是 Zcash,它依赖于一种称为zk-SNARKs或零知识简洁非交互式知识论证的加密技术。零知识证明在不透露证明它的数据的情况下传达某事是真实的——例如在不透露年龄或生日的情况下验证您已超过 21 岁。通过这种方式,它“屏蔽”了发送方、接收方和交易内容。但是 Zcash 的隐私功能是可选的,而不是像门罗币那样默认。
Zcash 于 2016 年推出,由 Electric Coin Co. 开发,其增长营销负责人 Chris Tomeo 告诉 Motherboard,他们押注隐私币的未来,因为“消费者数据继续被滥用和利用,作为立法者和政策制定者随着对加密货币如何运作的了解越来越多,人们开始看到隐私对个人安全、商业安全和国家安全的重要性。”
Dash,在因暗网关联而更名之前被称为 Darkcoin ,是 2014 年推出的另一种隐私币。为了使交易私有化(也可以选择,如 Zcash),Dash 部署了一种称为 CoinJoin 的混合加密技术来掩盖交易细节。它在受通货膨胀打击的委内瑞拉存在一些吸引力,在 Dash 进行了一场全面的营销活动之后,包括广告牌和分发带有预装加密钱包的手机,它被主要的房地产机构 Re/Max 以及快餐所接受。
到目前为止,门罗币在吸收方面是明显的赢家。 
“当人们说‘隐私币’时,他们几乎肯定是指门罗币。门罗币的隐私交易数量超过所有其他加密货币的总和。2022 年 2 月,门罗币隐藏发送者、接收者和金额的交易数量是 Zcash 的 100 多倍。CakeWallet 的首席执行官兼创始人 Vikrant Sharma 告诉Vice。根据平台数据,Cake Wallet 拥有超过 250,000 名用户,用户每年在应用程序内交换数亿美元的门罗币。
根据BitInfoCharts 的数据,尽管门罗币是隐私币之王——它现在是在线毒品交易中的热门选择——但在日常交易方面,它与比特币和以太坊等加密货币仍有很大差距。如今,以太坊每天记录超过 100 万笔交易,比特币记录约 300,000 笔,而门罗币则为 25,000 笔。

隐私币可以用来逃避制裁吗?
现在你可能想知道:俄罗斯人——或其他受制裁的国家——能否通过使用隐私币来逃避制裁?
加密货币行业游说团体区块链协会的政策负责人Jake Chervinsky表示:“再多的隐私也无法保护俄罗斯免受制裁的破坏性影响,无论他们试图使用何种货币,制裁已经将他们与西方经济隔离开来。”
Chervinsky 说,俄罗斯加密货币市场没有足够的流动性来促进大规模规避制裁,“更不用说具有强大隐私功能的资产市场部分了。如果俄罗斯试图购买大量此类资产,全世界都会立即看到这一点,”他说。
尽管隐私币的交易在加密上将好奇的观察者屏蔽了(因此没有与以太坊的 Etherscan等价的门罗币),但仍然可以跟踪所有交易的总交易量。根据 CoinGecko 的数据,Monero 在过去 24 小时内仅记录了 1.125 亿美元的交易量,其流动性——或可用于转换的现金——甚至不足以容纳一位俄罗斯寡头的资产。
“虽然包括勒索软件组织在内的一些非法行为者使用隐私币来试图混淆他们的交易,但它们并没有像人们预期的那样被采用。原因之一是它们不像比特币和其他加密货币那样具有流动性。尤其是现在区块链分析公司 Chainalysis 的全球公共部门首席技术官 Gurvais Grigg 表示,许多交易所在监管指导下已经将隐私币下架,它们变得越来越不切实际。
“加密货币只有在你可以买卖商品和服务或兑现成法定货币时才有用,而对于隐私币来说,这要困难得多,”他补充道。
尽管关注隐私的个人的接受和合法使用有限,但门罗币在暗网上的勒索软件和犯罪交易中特别受欢迎。这激怒了美国监管机构,导致政府机构花费850 万美元与区块链分析公司 CipherTrace(最近被 MasterCard 收购)签订合同,试图破解隐私币及其区块链交易记录。
“像 CipherTrace 这样的组织之所以存在,是因为透明加密货币存在致命的隐私缺陷,”匿名的门罗币社区组织者 Seth for Privacy 说。“他们已经表现出明显的能力来追踪像比特币这样的透明加密货币和只提供像 Zcash 这样的选择加入隐私的加密货币,非常容易和有效。” 然而,当谈到门罗币时,Seth 表示怀疑公司的跟踪能力是否像他们声称的那样强大。
CiperTrace 拒绝了置评请求。
其他加密货币可以更私密吗?
然而,尽管它们本质上是透明的设计,但隐私并不是主要加密货币的失败原因。 
根据Dune Analytics 的数据,出于好的或坏的原因,想要隐私的用户转向所谓的隐私混币器,如Tornado.Cash,它每天处理数亿美元。Tornado.Cash于 2019 年 8 月推出,在以太坊网络上使用类似于 Zcash 的零知识证明。用户可以向混币器协议发送 1、10 或 100 ETH,并期望在另一个只有他们知道的以太坊地址上接收资金。

但这些交易有可能被拥有资金和技术能力的持久分析公司分拆,这些公司拥有资金和技术能力,就像最近记者Laura Shin在一项轰动一时的调查中揭露了Crypto最大的悬疑事件之一背后的可能罪魁祸首时,高度隐私的Wasabi比特币钱包就是一个例子。
CakeWallet 的 Sharma 解释说,Secret Network、Thorchain 等加密隐私项目已经开始与 Monero 集成,以便在其平台上使用该资产。在门罗币之外,一些项目也在慢慢朝着隐私方向发展。莱特币于 2011 年推出,目前是按市值计算的第 21 大加密货币,它计划添加一个名为 MWEB 的可选功能,以更好地隐藏一些交易数据,而 Zcash 正在更容易自动将资金发送到屏蔽池中——可选私有的链。
尽管美国政府和加密货币专家都表示隐私币(或任何类型的加密货币)不能实际用于逃避制裁,但俄罗斯可以使用隐私币的想法引起了隐私币社区的共鸣,他们认为隐私币类似于其他隐私保护技术,例如 Tor 或 Signal,它们平等地帮助“好”人和“坏人”,因为如果他们要工作,他们就必须这样做。
“当像门罗币这样的加密货币可以用于保护财富、逃离专制政权或资助压迫国家的政治异议人士时,它们也可以用于逃避制裁或违反现行法律,”Seth 在一次演讲中说,不过他补充说,他认为这些观点得到了门罗币社区的广泛认同。
这是技术的严峻现实,也适用于智能手机、互联网接入和现金,与今天的加密货币相比,所有这些都更常用于‘邪恶’事物,”他补充道。

Crypto.com, Backed by Citadel Securities, Transfers XYO and XL1 into Regulated Custody

Crypto.com, with backing from Citadel Securities, has placed XYO and XL1 tokens into regulated custody. This move provides eligible institutions and high-net-worth clients with a regulated mechanism for storing, managing, and exchanging these tokens without first having to transfer assets onto an exchange. The custody structure utilizes segregated MPC wallets managed by a bankruptcy-remote entity, with private keys secured via multi-party computation. Clients benefit from cold storage, audit trails, and direct access to Crypto.com's institutional liquidity while their assets are custodied, removing the operational step of pre-trade transfers. Company leadership positioned this as a strategic step to provide "unmatched security and seamless liquidity" for digital asset organizations, and to protect and scale the XYO ecosystem. The partnership builds on an existing relationship since XYO's initial listing on the exchange. This development follows Citadel Securities' $400 million investment in Crypto.com and comes as the company expands its regulatory standing, having received conditional approval to establish a national trust bank. For institutional investors, this custody agreement addresses a key barrier by demonstrating that smaller market-cap assets like XYO and XL1 can be held under the same regulatory and security standards as larger tokens. XYO operates a large DePIN network generating real-world data for AI and robotics, with XL1 handling its blockchain transactions and infrastructure.

Less Than Two Weeks Left — Bitcoin's BIP-110 Countdown Begins as Miner Support Grows Ahead of Decisive Moment

The BIP-110 activation process for Bitcoin, which proposes a temporary soft fork to limit specific data-heavy transaction types (like Ordinals inscriptions), is entering its critical final phase. As of July 27, 2026, there are roughly 1,790 blocks remaining until the mandatory signaling window begins at block 961,632 (estimated for August 9). Starting then, nodes enforcing BIP-110 will reject blocks not signaling for the proposal. While support from miners has grown from below 1% to around 3% recently, it remains concentrated among smaller pools and independent miners, with major pools like Foundry, Antpool, ViaBTC, and F2Pool largely not signaling. Foundry's stance is particularly decisive, as it holds a large share of the network's hashrate and has tied its signaling to a client vote. Without a major pool's shift, widespread activation is unlikely. If the current low signaling levels persist after the window opens, nodes enforcing BIP-110 will follow a slower, minority chain, potentially creating a chain split from the majority chain followed by legacy (e.g., Bitcoin Core) nodes. This activation mechanism differs from past soft forks like SegWit, resembling the 2017 UASF BIP-148 more closely. Proponents argue BIP-110 is necessary to curb spam-like data transactions that increase node costs and distort fee markets, framing opposition as a contentious hard fork. Critics, however, view the activation method as a radical overreaction to a minor issue. The final outcome in the coming two weeks hinges on whether a major pool switches support, if major exchanges clarify their chain preference, and how miners actually behave once the mandatory window is open.

DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN): A Comprehensive Analysis Introduction to DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) is a blockchain-based project operating on the Solana network, which aims to combine the characteristics of traditional precious metals with the innovation of decentralized technologies. While it shares a name with Bitcoin, often referred to as “digital gold” due to its perception as a store of value, DIGITAL GOLD is a separate token designed to create a unique ecosystem within the Web3 landscape. Its goal is to position itself as a viable alternative digital asset, although specifics regarding its applications and functionalities are still developing. What is DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN)? DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) is a cryptocurrency token explicitly designed for use on the Solana blockchain. In contrast to Bitcoin, which provides a widely recognized value storage role, this token appears to focus on broader applications and characteristics. Notable aspects include: Blockchain Infrastructure: The token is built on the Solana blockchain, known for its capacity to handle high-speed and low-cost transactions. Supply Dynamics: DIGITAL GOLD has a maximum supply capped at 100 quadrillion tokens (100P $BITCOIN), although details regarding its circulating supply are currently undisclosed. Utility: While precise functionalities are not explicitly outlined, there are indications that the token could be utilized for various applications, potentially involving decentralized applications (dApps) or asset tokenization strategies. Who is the Creator of DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN)? At present, the identity of the creators and development team behind DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) remains unknown. This situation is typical among many innovative projects within the blockchain space, particularly those aligning with decentralized finance and meme coin phenomena. While such anonymity may foster a community-driven culture, it intensifies concerns about governance and accountability. Who are the Investors of DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN)? The available information indicates that DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) does not have any known institutional backers or prominent venture capital investments. The project seems to operate on a peer-to-peer model focused on community support and adoption rather than traditional funding routes. Its activity and liquidity are primarily situated on decentralized exchanges (DEXs), such as PumpSwap, rather than established centralized trading platforms, further highlighting its grassroots approach. How DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) Works The operational mechanics of DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) can be elaborated on based on its blockchain design and network attributes: Consensus Mechanism: By leveraging Solana’s unique proof-of-history (PoH) combined with a proof-of-stake (PoS) model, the project ensures efficient transaction validation contributing to the network's high performance. Tokenomics: While specific deflationary mechanisms have not been extensively detailed, the vast maximum token supply implies that it may cater to microtransactions or niche use cases that are still to be defined. Interoperability: There exists the potential for integration with Solana’s broader ecosystem, including various decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms. However, the details regarding specific integrations remain unspecified. Timeline of Key Events Here is a timeline that highlights significant milestones concerning DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN): 2023: The initial deployment of the token occurs on the Solana blockchain, marked by its contract address. 2024: DIGITAL GOLD gains visibility as it becomes available for trading on decentralized exchanges like PumpSwap, allowing users to trade it against SOL. 2025: The project witnesses sporadic trading activity and potential interest in community-led engagements, although no noteworthy partnerships or technical advancements have been documented as of yet. Critical Analysis Strengths Scalability: The underlying Solana infrastructure supports high transaction volumes, which could enhance the utility of $BITCOIN in various transaction scenarios. Accessibility: The potential low trading price per token could attract retail investors, facilitating wider participation due to fractional ownership opportunities. Risks Lack of Transparency: The absence of publicly known backers, developers, or an audit process may yield skepticism regarding the project's sustainability and trustworthiness. Market Volatility: The trading activity is heavily reliant on speculative behavior, which can result in significant price volatility and uncertainty for investors. Conclusion DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) emerges as an intriguing yet ambiguous project within the rapidly evolving Solana ecosystem. While it attempts to leverage the “digital gold” narrative, its departure from Bitcoin's established role as a store of value underscores the need for a clearer differentiation of its intended utility and governance structure. Future acceptance and adoption will likely depend on addressing the current opacity and defining its operational and economic strategies more explicitly. Note: This report encompasses synthesised information available as of October 2023, and developments may have transpired beyond the research period.
