简而言之 中国最高人民检察院报纸上的一篇评论文章提出了起诉加密货币洗钱的框架。 其建议包括,当嫌疑人使用混币器或隐私币而不提供“合理的反证据”时,假定犯罪意图,并将可验证的链上记录和分析公司报告视为可接受的证据。 The authors also urge the creation of a national platform to hold and sell seized crypto, tackling a problem created by China's own ban on trading it. 中国最高检察院官方报纸上的一篇文章提出了起诉加密货币洗钱的框架,建议法院在嫌疑人使用混币器和隐私币时推定犯罪意图,并建议国家建立一个平台来出售查获的加密货币。
这篇文章发表在最高人民检察院报纸《检察日报》理论版上,由湖南省两名地区检察官和一名大学法学教授撰写。它不具有法律效力,但类似的文章为了解中国检察系统内部正在形成的思维提供了一个窗口,仅在 2024 年,该系统就指控了 3,000 多人与加密货币相关的洗钱活动。 充电间隙 作者指出,中国专门的洗钱犯罪仅涵盖七类上游犯罪,因此检察官经常依靠更广泛的“隐瞒”指控来追查加密货币案件,他们认为这种解决方法已经膨胀为一种过度扩张的包罗万象的方法。 他们敦促制定“一案双查”规则,筛查每一项潜在的洗钱犯罪,并要求调查人员绘制任何涉及的加密货币的流向,该规则以中国最高人民法院 2024 年的司法解释为基础,该解释已经将使用虚拟资产交易转移犯罪所得视为洗钱的一种形式。 混合器是一个危险信号
最大胆的提议涉及证据。作者认为,除非嫌疑人使用混合器或隐私币等旨在掩盖交易的工具,以“明显不合理”的价格出售大量加密货币,或者通过与其身份无关的匿名钱包进行高频、大规模转账,否则法院应该能够推定嫌疑人意图洗钱,除非嫌疑人“提供合理的反证据”。 他们还提出了“区块链数据自我验证”原则,使用可以在公共区块浏览器上检查的链上记录,并具有匹配的哈希值,这些记录将被视为假定真实的,从而将负担转移到任何有争议的人身上。来自合规区块链分析公司的报告,例如资金流向图和地址聚类,将被视为专家证据,只要形成一条连贯的链条,就可以根据间接的、零散的证据来确定洗钱行为,即使不是每个代币都可以追溯到其来源。 被扣押的硬币问题
第三篇文章讨论了中国在掌握加密货币后应该如何处理它。由于北京禁止交易,没收代币的当局没有干净的合法方式将其兑现,导致数十亿美元陷入困境。 文章呼吁建立一个国家平台,通过定向拍卖等“合规渠道”托管和处置扣押的加密货币,建立一个常设专家委员会,根据链上数据和全球交易价格对持有的加密货币进行估值,以及跨境交易,以及基于区块链的“司法合作链”,以追踪和追回转移到海外的资产。实际上,地方政府已经在离岸市场上通过私营公司悄悄出售扣押的加密货币,路透社去年记录的一种解决方法是,一个正式的系统将被取代。
中国于 2021 年宣布加密货币交易和挖矿为非法,但它仍然是基于加密货币的洗钱活动最繁忙的前沿之一。根据 Chainaanalysis 的数据,中国警方已捣毁大型犯罪团伙,其中包括 2022 年价值 17 亿美元的洗钱活动,而中国的洗钱网络到 2025 年处理的金额估计为 160 亿美元,目前处理的加密货币洗钱总量约占全球的五分之一。该公司将其崛起部分归因于中国自身的资本管制,因为富有的公民将资金转移到海外提供了流动性,使网络可以为西方有组织犯罪集团进行洗钱。 每日简报时事通讯 每天从当下的热门新闻报道以及原创专题、播客、视频等开始。
In brief
An opinion article in the newspaper of China's Supreme People's Procuratorate lays out a framework for prosecuting crypto money laundering.
Its proposals include presuming criminal intent when suspects use coin mixers or privacy coins without providing “reasonable counter-evidence,” and treating verifiable on-chain records and analytics-firm reports as admissible evidence.
The authors also urge the creation of a national platform to hold and sell seized crypto, tackling a problem created by China's own ban on trading it.
An article in the official newspaper of China's top prosecutors' office has laid out a framework for prosecuting crypto money laundering, proposing that courts presume criminal intent when suspects use coin mixers and privacy coins, and that the state build a platform to sell off seized cryptocurrency.
The piece ran in the theory section of the Procuratorate Daily, the newspaper of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, and was written by two district prosecutors in Hunan province and a university law professor. It carries no legal force, but articles like it offer a window into the thinking taking shape inside China's prosecution system, which charged more than 3,000 people with crypto-related money laundering in 2024 alone.
A charging gap
China's dedicated money-laundering offense covers only seven categories of predicate crime, so prosecutors often fall back on a broader "concealment" charge to go after crypto cases, the authors note, a workaround they say has swelled into an overstretched catch-all.
They urge a "double investigation of one case" rule that would screen every underlying crime for laundering and require investigators to map the flow of any crypto involved, building on a 2024 judicial interpretation from China's Supreme People’s Court that already treats using virtual-asset transactions to move criminal proceeds as a form of laundering.
Mixers as a red flag
The boldest proposals concern proof. The authors argue courts should be able to presume a suspect meant to launder money, unless the suspect “provides reasonable counter-evidence,” when they use tools designed to obscure transactions such as mixers or privacy coins, offload large amounts of crypto at “obviously unreasonable” prices, or run high-frequency, large-scale transfers through anonymous wallets with no link to their identity.
They also float a "blockchain data self-verification" principle using on-chain records that can be checked on a public block explorer, with matching hash values, would be treated as presumptively genuine, shifting the burden onto whoever disputes them. Reports from compliant blockchain analytics firms, such as fund flow maps and address clustering, would count as expert evidence, and laundering could be established from circumstantial, fragmentary evidence as long as it forms a coherent chain, even if not every coin is traced to its source.
The seized-coin problem
The third piece addresses what China should do with crypto once it seizes it. Because Beijing bans trading, authorities that confiscate tokens have no clean legal way to cash them out, leaving billions of dollars in limbo.
The article calls for a national platform to custody and dispose of seized crypto through "compliant channels" like directed auctions, a standing expert committee to value holdings against on-chain data and global exchange prices, and cross-border deals plus a blockchain-based "judicial cooperation chain" to trace and recover assets moved offshore. In practice, local governments have already been quietly selling seized crypto through private firms in offshore markets, a workaround Reuters documented last year that a formal system would be meant to replace.
China outlawed crypto trading and mining in 2021, but it remains one of the busiest fronts for crypto-based money laundering. Chinese police have broken up large rings, including a $1.7 billion laundering operation in 2022, while Chinese-language laundering networks processed an estimated $16 billion in 2025 and now handle roughly a fifth of all crypto money laundering worldwide, according to Chainalysis. The firm traces their rise partly to China's own capital controls, as wealthy citizens moving money offshore supply the liquidity that lets the networks launder for Western organized crime groups.
