德國當局關閉加密交換服務交易所，扣押34000000歐元的資產

德國執法部門於4月30日關閉了加密交換服務交易所，奪取了34000000歐元的資產和八個數據的數據。根據新聞稿，此舉懷疑商業洗錢和Darknet行動。

German law enforcement officials have shut down the crypto swapping service eXch and seized €34 million in assets, according to a press release by the Frankfurt am Main Public Prosecutor’s Office.

法蘭克福AM主要檢察官辦公室的新聞稿稱，德國執法人員已關閉了加密貨幣交換服務交易所，並扣押了3400萬歐元的資產。

The move, which follows suspicions of commercial money laundering and darknet operations, saw authorities seize Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Dash, with an estimated combined value of €34 million.

此舉遵循對商業洗錢和Darknet行動的懷疑，當局抓住了比特幣，以太坊，Litecoin和Dash，估計總值為3400萬歐元。

Investigators also seized more than eight terabytes of platform data, marking the third-largest crypto asset confiscation in Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) history.

調查人員還抓住了八個以上的平台數據，標誌著聯邦刑事警察局（BKA）歷史上第三大加密資產。

Launched in 2014, eXch enabled users to exchange cryptocurrencies without identity verification. Operating on both the clearnet and darknet, the platform was advertised in underground forums and did not require user registration or follow anti-money laundering rules.

交易所於2014年推出，使用戶能夠在沒有身份驗證的情況下交換加密貨幣。該平台在Clearnet和Darknet上都在地下論壇上進行了廣告宣傳，不需要用戶註冊或遵守反貨幣洗錢規則。

As a result, the service became a tool for quickly and easily converting cryptocurrencies while remaining anonymous, investigators noted.

調查人員指出，該服務成為一種工具，可以快速，輕鬆地轉換加密貨幣，同時保持匿名。

The service is said to have facilitated the movement of funds tied to criminal activity. Since its launch, an estimated $1.9 billion in crypto has flowed through the platform.

據說這項服務促進了與犯罪活動相關的資金的流動。自推出以來，估計有19億美元的加密貨幣已經流過該平台。

Crypto sleuth ZachXBT suspects that some of the $1.5 billion stolen from the Bybit exchange in February 2025 was swapped through eXch. The $243 million stolen in the Genesis Creditor incident is also linked to the platform.

Crypto Sleuth Zachxbt懷疑，2025年2月從拜比特交易所被盜的15億美元被盜中的一些人被交換了。 Genesis債權人事件中盜竊的2.43億美元也與該平台有關。

Authorities also criticized the platform’s refusal to freeze stolen assets or assist law enforcement, calling it a haven for criminals. Investigators are now examining possible connections to other cybercrimes.

當局還批評該平台拒絕凍結被盜資產或協助執法部門，稱其為犯罪分子的天堂。研究人員現在正在研究與其他網絡犯罪的可能聯繫。

Although the team announced a planned shutdown on May 1, authorities acted early in response to the urgent need to secure evidence, crypto wallets, and database files.

儘管團隊於5月1日宣布了計劃的關閉，但當局以迫切需要確保證據，加密錢包和數據庫文件的迫切需要採取行動。

Crucially, German officials collaborated with the Dutch Tax Investigation Department (FIOD) during the seizure. Authorities say the data may help uncover other illegal operations tied to eXch.

至關重要的是，德國官員在癲癇發作期間與荷蘭稅收調查部（FIOD）合作。當局表示，這些數據可能有助於發現與交易所有關的其他非法操作。

Meanwhile, investigators are reviewing the information for leads on wider cybercrime networks. Based on the evidence gathered, more legal action may follow.

同時，調查人員正在審查更廣泛的網絡犯罪網絡上的潛在客戶信息。根據收集的證據，可能會採取更多法律行動。
