With the rapid development of the Crypto Assets industry, the associated legal risks have also become increasingly prominent. Recently, several criminal cases involving Crypto Assets have attracted widespread attention, especially the significant warning they pose to young people. This article will analyze six types of crimes related to Crypto Assets in detail, to help practitioners and investors better understand the legal boundaries.



Category One Crime: Illegal Business Operations. In a case heard by the Leshan Intermediate Court in Sichuan, the individuals involved used USDT to conduct illegal foreign exchange trading, with the amount involved exceeding 200 million yuan. This highlights the potential legal risks associated with conducting foreign exchange trading in the Crypto Assets sector.

Second category of crime: Money laundering. Even small transactions may constitute a crime. There are cases showing that even bank flows involving 25,000 yuan and illegal profits of over 5,000 yuan can be enough to violate money laundering laws. This warns us to be cautious about the source and use of every fund in Crypto Assets transactions.

Third type of crime: Fraud. A notable case involved a post-00s university student who issued the so-called "Tugou Coin" and quickly withdrew liquidity, ultimately being sentenced to four years and six months in prison and fined 30,000 yuan. This reflects the regulatory authorities' severe crackdown on the "cutting leeks" behavior in the Crypto Assets field.

Fourth category of crime: organizing and leading pyramid scheme activities. In the field of Crypto Assets, some projects disguise themselves under the banner of innovation, but are in fact disguised pyramid schemes. There are cases showing that the amount involved in such crimes can exceed 210 million yuan, reflecting their significant social harm.

Fifth category of crime: concealing or hiding the proceeds of crime. In some cases, the amount involved exceeds 15 million yuan. This reminds us that we should be vigilant not only against direct participation in crimes but also against becoming tools for criminals to launder money.

Sixth type of crime: Illegal acquisition of computer information. In the digital age, personal information security is particularly important. There are cases showing that the illegal profits from such crimes can exceed 2.5 million yuan, reflecting the importance of information security in the Crypto Assets field.

These cases warn us that in the field of Crypto Assets, whether ordinary investors or industry practitioners, we must always maintain legal awareness and strictly adhere to relevant regulations. For young people, it is especially important to be vigilant to avoid breaking the law due to impulsiveness or insufficient understanding of the law. At the same time, this also reflects the regulatory authorities' strong stance against crimes related to Crypto Assets, establishing clear legal boundaries for the healthy development of the industry.

In the rapidly developing Crypto Assets world, opportunities and risks coexist. Only by participating under the premise of legality and compliance can one truly enjoy the dividends brought by technological innovation and promote the healthy development of the industry.
