Chinese crime network laundered over $1B for Lazarus: ZachXBT

A Chinese organized crime syndicate laundered more than $1 billion stolen in multiple crypto exploits for North Koreas Lazarus Group, according to blockchain investigator ZachXBT.　　In an Oct. 5 thread on X, pseudonymous blockchain investigator ZachXBT said he posed as a paying client to infiltrate the money laundering network in February 2025, just days after the Bybit hack. He put up $349,700 in stablecoins and took a 5% loss on each order to build trust with one of the networks operators, known as “Jimmy Green.”　　ZachXBT said the operations spanned Hong Kong and mainland China, and information supplied by the launderer helped him identify a cluster of more than $12 million in Bybit-linked funds, with Tether later freezing $442,000 in associated USDt (USDT).　　The investigation offers rare insight into the alleged intermediaries handling North Koreas stolen crypto. Hackers linked to the country have stolen at least $6.75 billion in digital assets through 2025, according to Chainalysis.　　How North Korea moves stolen crypto　　North Korean hackers are known to use a multi-stage laundering process. One method involves chain-hopping and token swapping through decentralized exchanges, bridges and other services to obscure the flow of funds.　　Related: SlowMist traces Bitget hack activity to Aug. 31 zero-day exploit　　Chinese intermediaries have

His latest post hints at a possible setup awaiting a breakout.　　Key TakeawaysBrandts daily XRP chart marks a horizontal level at $1.6572.Reaching the marked level from $1.5230 would require an 8.8% rise.His earlier $5.40 projection came from a separate monthly chart.　　A Coffee Cup Puts XRPs Gain in Focus　　XRP investors have a possible bullish formation to assess after veteran trader Peter Brandt shared a daily price chart on X on Oct. 5.

CFTC makes its biggest move yet to bring offshore crypto trading back to the US

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is offering US crypto exchanges a federal route to retail leverage as Congress remains stalled on market-structure legislation.　　On Oct. 5, the financial regulatory agency opened rulemaking for Regulation Crypto Asset Transactions (CTX) and Regulation Crypto Asset Markets (CAM), which would create a national framework for platforms offering retail customers margined, leveraged, or financed crypto trading.　　Participation would remain optional for ordinary spot exchanges because the agency acknowledges it cannot compel the broader crypto market onto CFTC-regulated venues without congressional action. The incentive is access to leveraged products that state money-transmitter licensing alone does not provide.　　The initiative gives the CFTC a way to use authority it says already exists under the Commodity Exchange Act while Congress has yet to enact comprehensive legislation governing crypto spot markets.　　CFTC turns leverage into its regulatory carrot　　The framework would effectively create three regulatory paths depending on what an exchange wants to offer US customers.　　Ordinary spot exchanges could remain primarily under state licensing regimes, supplemented by the CFTCs existing anti-fraud and anti-manipulation authority.　　Platforms offering leveraged or financed retail crypto transactions could seek federal registration under the new framework, while venues offering futures, perpetuals and other derivatives would remain under the agencys existing
