PANews reported on February 26 that the National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center released a report today titled "Ready Player One: An In-Depth Analysis of the Global Virtual Currency Asset Harvesting Operation Under US Technological Hegemony." The report states that the US is using its technological and regulatory advantages to systematically harvest assets in the global virtual currency sector. The report claims that the US is controlling core blockchain technologies and on-chain traceability companies, pushing for stablecoin legislation to mandate the allocation of US Treasury bonds in its reserves, and leveraging its long-arm jurisdiction to conduct cross-border law enforcement and asset seizures. According to incomplete statistics, from 2022 to 2025, the US will seize over $30 billion in virtual currency assets in various cases, including approximately $15 billion in the Chen Zhi case alone; Binance and Zhao Changpeng will be subject to $4.35 billion in seizures and fines through civil and criminal proceedings; and Garantex will be targeted across the entire supply chain for allegedly circumventing sanctions. The report concludes that the US is including virtual assets such as Bitcoin in its national strategic reserve tools.
