"e to the failure of the coinbase system, we could only sell but not hang up the bill yesterday, and the whole trading world order was destroyed." A coin circle employee also said

As more and more economic activities migrate to the blockchain, the instry is facing great compliance pressure.

The number of extortion cases has increased rapidly, and the situation of virtual currency anti money laundering is grim.
