When Notices Become Law: What Does the Draft Network Crime Prevention Law Mean for the Crypto World?

The draft "Cyber Crime Prevention Law" released by Chinese authorities on January 31, 2026, marks a significant shift from previous regulatory notices to formal legislation, fundamentally altering the legal landscape for cryptocurrency activities in China. Unlike earlier policies focused on financial risks, this law adopts a criminal governance approach, specifically targeting three core areas: OTC transactions, technical development, and public node operations. Key provisions include Article 26, which redefines "knowledge" in OTC trading, making it easier to prosecute those involved in transferring illicit funds using virtual currencies. Articles 19 and 31 extend liability to those providing technical support, such as developers or promoters, with Article 2 asserting extraterritorial jurisdiction over overseas entities serving Chinese users. Additionally, Article 40 requires blockchain nodes to monitor and block illegal activities, challenging the feasibility of permissionless networks. Legal experts note that while penalties may start with fines, severe cases could lead to criminal charges. The law reflects a broader trend from administrative bans to criminal regulation, emphasizing compliance through strict KYC, AML controls, and geo-blocking for Chinese users. For the crypto industry, this law establishes compliance as a critical survival threshold rather than an optional measure.

The Gray Business of 'Cash for Crypto': How Part-Time Jobs Become Money Laundering Channels for Black Market

This article exposes a growing gray market scheme in China, particularly in Guangdong and Shenzhen, where seemingly legitimate part-time jobs are being used as a front for money laundering operations. Criminals recruit often highly educated but risk-unaware young people through platforms like Xianyu, offering "cash for crypto" or "offline crypto exchange" gigs. The task involves receiving RMB in one's personal bank account, converting it to Hong Kong dollars, and then purchasing stablecoins like USDT at designated Hong Kong OTC crypto shops to transfer to specified wallets. Lawyers Deng Xiaoyu and Huang Wenjing from Mankun Law Firm explain that participants unknowingly become a key "human courier" link in money laundering chains, moving illicit funds from crimes like telecom fraud. Once the funds are identified as illegal, participants face frozen bank and social payment accounts, severe disruption to their lives, and potential criminal charges for offenses like money laundering or assisting information network crimes. The OTC shops in Hong Kong are targeted due to regulatory gaps, the anonymity of cash transactions, and the complex financial environment that helps obscure fund trails. The article warns the public to avoid any兼职 (part-time work) involving handling money, account operations, or crypto exchanges for others, as these are almost certainly illicit. Key red flags include being asked to provide personal bank cards, withdraw cash, convert cash to crypto, or being assured the activity is "legal in Hong Kong." The core advice is to reject any offer that uses an individual as a "funds channel."

Ethereum slips below $3,000 – Why are whales quietly buying the dip?

Ethereum's price fell below $3,000 amid a broader crypto market decline, driven by global political tensions and risk-off sentiment. Despite the drop, on-chain data reveals that large investors, or "whales," are actively accumulating ETH around the $3,000 level. A major institution, Trend Research, borrowed $70M to purchase over 24,500 ETH, while another whale bought 20,000 ETH via OTC desks—reducing immediate sell pressure and potentially setting the stage for a future supply shock. However, the use of leverage introduces risk, as a drop to $2,500–$2,600 could trigger liquidations. Although network activity appears strong, much of it is artificial due to address poisoning attacks. The underlying dynamics suggest cautious optimism for long-term bulls.

Analyzing Hyperliquid’s $9.8 mln team wallet sale: Is HYPE’s $20 support at risk?

Amid a broader market downturn, Hyperliquid (HYPE) has faced significant selling pressure, dropping to $21.02 and testing the key $20 support level. This decline was exacerbated after nine team-linked wallets sold 450,000 HYPE tokens, worth $9.8 million, to market maker Flowdesk. Most of the recently unlocked tokens were sold or staked, increasing circulating supply and bearish momentum. On-chain data shows a major whale opened a large short position, while the Long/Short Ratio of 0.89 indicates most traders are betting on further price decreases. Technical indicators like the MACD and DMI suggest strong seller control, risking a breakdown below $20 towards $18.7 if selling continues.

HashKey Lists XAUt, Marking First Gold Token Trading on a Compliant Exchange in Hong Kong

HashKey Exchange, the largest licensed digital asset exchange in Hong Kong and a subsidiary of HashKey Holdings Limited (3887.HK), has officially listed Tether Gold (XAUt). Professional investors can trade XAUt through its over-the-counter (OTC) Marketplace. This marks the first time a licensed exchange in Hong Kong offers compliant trading of gold tokens. Each XAUt token represents one troy ounce of a physical gold bar that meets the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) delivery standard. By holding XAUt, users gain exposure to physical gold without the logistical challenges of storage and transfer. The introduction of XAUt allows professional investors to hedge against market volatility by allocating part of their portfolio to gold without leaving the HashKey platform. This move integrates traditional safe-haven assets into the digital asset ecosystem, providing a diversified and compliant investment option and bridging traditional and digital finance. Michelle Cheng, Director of HashKey Exchange, stated that the listing addresses inefficiencies in traditional gold allocation, enabling users to manage gold as easily as other digital assets. This is a concrete step toward improving the efficiency of real-world asset (RWA) circulation within a regulated digital environment.

Wintermute Unveils the Flow of Off-Exchange Funds in a 28-Page Report

Wintermute's 2025 report on the crypto OTC market reveals a fundamental shift in liquidity dynamics. Market activity has become more concentrated, with capital flowing predominantly into a few large-cap tokens like BTC and ETH, driven by ETFs and Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) products. This has led to shorter, more selective altcoin rallies, with the average duration of narrative-driven surges dropping sharply from 61 days in 2024 to just 19 days in 2025. Memecoins failed to recover after Q1, and trading activity narrowed significantly. Institutional participation deepened, with OTC derivatives—especially options—showing strong growth as traders adopted more sophisticated, yield-generating strategies. However, retail attention diverted to AI and equity themes, reducing crypto's appeal as a primary risk asset. Liquidity is now channeled through structured vehicles like ETFs and DATs, which concentrate capital in top assets and limit spillover to the broader market. For a sustained 2026 recovery, Wintermute identifies three key catalysts: expansion of ETF/DAT coverage to more altcoins, a strong bullish breakout in major tokens to trigger wealth effects, or a significant return of retail interest to crypto. The market has moved away from predictable cycles toward a more fragmented, execution-driven environment.

Wintermute's 28-Page Report Unveils the Flow of Off-Exchange Funds

Wintermute's 28-page report on the 2025 crypto OTC market reveals a fundamental shift in liquidity dynamics. Capital is no longer broadly distributed but has become highly concentrated, leading to shorter, more execution-driven rallies and uneven performance across tokens. Key findings include: - Trading activity is concentrated in a few large-cap tokens like BTC and ETH, driven by the expansion of ETFs and Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) products. - Narrative-driven altcoin rallies faded twice as fast as in previous years, with an average duration of just 19 days in 2025. - Professional trading counterparties increased their influence, utilizing more cautious execution strategies, leveraged OTC products, and sophisticated options. - Capital inflow channels (ETFs, DATs, stablecoins) now significantly influence where liquidity accumulates, with most new capital directed toward blue-chip assets. The report notes that crypto has lost its status as the preferred risk asset for retail investors, who shifted focus to equity themes like AI. For a broader market recovery in 2026, Wintermute identifies three necessary conditions: further expansion of ETF/DAT investment mandates, a strong leading rally from major tokens to create a wealth effect, or a significant return of retail attention to crypto.
