暗号の世界は今日、バイナンスが市場の変化に適応し、投資家の信頼を維持するために複数の戦略的ステップを踏んでいるため、賑わっています。ネットワークのアップグレードから新しいトークンの上場まで、取引所は運営上の課題と感情に関連する課題の両方を積極的に管理しています。
1. SEIネットワークアップグレードサポート
バイナンスは、重要なネットワークアップグレードを支援するために、SEI（Sei Network）の入金と出金を一時的に停止すると発表しました。このような技術的介入は長期的な安定性にとって重要ですが、SEI保有者の短期的な取引活動に影響を与える可能性があります。トレーダーは、予期しない中断を避けるために、これらのダウンタイムウィンドウに合わせて計画を立てることが推奨されます。

Recent reports indicating that crypto wallets received nearly $158 billion in illicit funds last year have sparked concern across the digital asset industry. While the figure is undeniably large, a closer look reveals a more nuanced — and in some ways encouraging — picture of how the crypto ecosystem is evolving.
Understanding the Headline Number
The $158 billion estimate comes from blockchain intelligence firms tracking wallets linked to sanctions evasion, fraud, hacks, and other illicit activities. Importantly, this figure reflects total value received by flagged addresses, not proven criminal convictions or direct losses borne by users.
As crypto adoption expands globally, overall transaction volumes have increased significantly — naturally pushing absolute numbers higher across both legitimate and illegitimate activity.
Context Matters: Share vs. Size
Despite the record dollar amount, illicit activity accounted for roughly 1–1.2% of total crypto transaction volume, according to multiple analytics reports. This means that while illicit flows grew in absolute terms, their share of the overall market actually declined compared to earlier years.
In other words, legitimate crypto usage is growing faster than misuse.
What’s Driving the Increase?
Several structural factors contributed to the rise:
Sanctions-related transactions, particularly involving stablecoins and cross-border transfers
Large-scale hacks and exploit recoveries, which temporarily inflate illicit inflow metrics
Improved blockchain surveillance, allowing analysts to identify and label suspicious activity more accurately than in the past
This last point is often overlooked: better detection increases reported numbers, even if real-world criminal usage hasn’t grown at the same pace.
A Sign of a Maturing Industry
Paradoxically, the visibility of illicit flows reflects progress. Today’s crypto ecosystem is far more transparent than traditional finance, where comparable data on illicit money movement is often unavailable or delayed.
Exchanges, analytics firms, and regulators now collaborate more closely than ever, using on-chain data to:
Freeze suspicious funds
Track criminal networks
Strengthen compliance frameworks
This level of oversight was largely absent during crypto’s early growth phase.
Why This Doesn’t Undermine Crypto’s Long-Term Outlook
Illicit activity exists in every financial system. What matters is how effectively it is detected, measured, and mitigated. The fact that such data is publicly quantified — and represents a shrinking percentage of total activity — suggests improving market resilience rather than systemic weakness.
Final Perspective
The $158 billion figure is not a signal of crypto failure, but a reminder of scale. As digital assets integrate further into global finance, scrutiny will increase — and transparency will continue to expose both strengths and weaknesses.
For long-term participants, the key takeaway is clear:
Crypto is becoming more monitored, more regulated, and ultimately more institutional.

アメリカ政府は2026年1月31日に部分的なシャットダウンに入った。これは、議会が資金の締切前に完全な予算を通過させることに失敗したためである。連邦の運営は一時的に停止しているが、シャットダウンの影響は伝統的な金融を超え、グローバルな暗号市場に微妙に影響を与えている。
何が起こったか
国土安全保障省（DHS）を含む特定の連邦部門は、資金の不足により非必須の運営を停止した。社会保障、メディケア、USPSなどの重要なサービスは中断されることなく継続している。シャットダウンは一時的であり、下院のさらなる承認を待っている。
