- 00:47WLFI: 272 wallets have been blacklisted, and the freeze is to prevent user lossesChainCatcher reported that WLFI stated on the X platform that it is aware of the community's concerns regarding the recent wallet blacklist. WLFI emphasized that it will never suppress normal activities. In the past few days, 272 wallets have been blacklisted. This accounts for only a small portion of the total number of holders. The move is purely to prevent user losses, and investigations are underway to assist affected users. The breakdown of these 272 wallets is as follows: 215 cases (about 79%) are related to phishing attacks: the team has intervened to prevent hackers from stealing funds and is working with legitimate owners to protect/transfer assets. 50 cases (about 18.4%) involved owners reporting violations; at their request, these addresses were blacklisted to help protect/recover funds. 5 cases (about 1.8%) were marked as high-risk exposure (security risks are under review). 1 case (about 0.4%) is suspected of misappropriating funds from other holders; a comprehensive internal review is underway. WLFI stated that it will not block normal trading activities. When alerts of malicious or high-risk activities that may endanger community members are received, immediate action will be taken. The follow-up measures are as follows: continue to work with legitimate owners to verify control and ensure fund security. After the review is completed, clear results for each category will be announced. Any broader actions affecting holders will be publicly disclosed. .

- 00:31Arkham: The German government failed to seize $5 billion worth of bitcoinChainCatcher news, according to Arkham monitoring, the German government failed to seize bitcoin worth $5 billion. At the beginning of 2024, German police seized 49,858 bitcoins from the operators of the pirated movie website Movie2K. However, in July 2024, the government sold these bitcoins for only $2.89 billion, with an average selling price of $57,900. Currently, the Movie2K wallet still holds more than 45,000 bitcoins, almost the same amount as originally seized. This fund, worth about $5 billion, is scattered across about 100 wallets and has not been moved since 2019. Considering that the German government has made no comment on this, it is very likely that these funds are controlled by the Movie2K operators. It is reported that Movie2K is a movie piracy website that has been active since 2013. Its operators were arrested in 2019, and in January 2024, they handed over about 50,000 bitcoins to the German government through a "voluntary transfer." The German government seized and transferred these nearly 50,000 bitcoins at the beginning of 2024.
