Recently, I came across a set of data that is quite noteworthy. Due to the decentralization and strong anonymity of cryptocurrencies, as well as the ease of cross-border fund transfers, they have, over the years, become a breeding ground for many gray operations—money laundering, illegal fundraising, fraud, and unauthorized fund transfers. Various schemes are operating in the shadows, directly impacting financial order and the safety of ordinary people's money.

From a data perspective, you can see the intensity of regulation: in 2024, relevant authorities filed a total of 3,032 lawsuits related to such cases throughout the year. Behind this number lies the compliance debts left from the industry's period of unchecked growth, serving as a reminder to all participants—technological neutrality does not mean a legal vacuum, and the necessary regulation will eventually come.

3032 lawsuits, feels like just the tip of the iceberg. The real dark trades aren't that easy to catch. Honestly, the crypto space should've been regulated a long time ago, but us old-timers are already used to the chaos. Regulation was bound to come sooner or later; it's just that things got too wild back then. To be real, there's no such thing as a legal vacuum—it was just that enforcement couldn't keep up. Now they're catching up. "Technology is neutral"? Uh, sounds nice, but it all depends on how it's used. This round of enforcement is pretty solid, at least they're not messing around when it comes to cracking down on scams and money laundering. I support it. 3032 cases sounds like a lot, but that's only a few thousand a year—not much considering the scale of financial crime. After holding out for so long, it's finally here. Honestly, I feel more relaxed now. There's no dodging what's coming anyway.

Over 3,000 lawsuits—this is probably just the tip of the iceberg. How many more haven't even been uncovered yet?

3,032 lawsuits—looks like things really do need to be regulated, or else it's only a matter of time before it all falls apart.

3,032 lawsuits—this is the real lesson from the market. Stop talking about decentralization; the law's net is vast and nothing escapes it. The necessary regulations will come when they're due. The costs of the early days of wild growth must now be paid. Another wave of people will suffer losses. The argument that "technology is neutral" is still too naive in the face of the law. With over 3,000 cases in 2024 alone, it's no wonder regulation is getting stricter. But this is actually good, at least it will weed out some bad actors. Honestly, a lot of people just don't realize that anonymity doesn't mean being above the law; sooner or later, the lesson will be learned.

3032 lawsuits show that those who play with fire finally have to pay the price. Compliance is something that will have to be settled sooner or later. When the regulatory hammer comes down, those dreaming of overnight riches should wake up. Decentralization is just a facade; the law sees through everything. After this round of crackdowns, the industry needs a thorough cleanse. Technology itself is innocent, but it can't stop human greed—it's the trend of the times. With over 3,000 cases, how many people will fall? That's why compliance is the real long-term ticket. After multiple rounds of industry cleansing, only those who survive will truly be valuable.
