Hong Kong JPEX Case: 8 Defendants Accused of Fraud, Case Adjourned for Retrial in March Next Year

2025.12.15 17:21:47

Hong Kong Economic Daily reported on December 15 that the alleged fraud case linked to JPEX, a virtual asset trading platform, has seen a new development. Eight defendants face multiple charges, and the case has been adjourned to March 16, 2026 for a retrial. The eight defendants include former TVB actor Zheng Junxi (31), Siu Wing-him (28), Lam Zuo (35), internet celebrity Chen Yingyi (38) (known online as "Chen Yi"), Au Chak-ki (31), Chiu King-yin (25), YouTuber Leung Kei-cheung (31) (who goes by "Xiang Xiang" online), and Ho Ki-man (28). Charges against them include conspiracy to defraud, fraud, fraudulently or recklessly inducing others to invest in virtual assets, and dealing with property representing proceeds of a felony—knowing or believing it to be such proceeds. Zheng Junxi did not apply for bail; the other seven defendants were granted bail under their original conditions, which bar them from leaving Hong Kong and require them to surrender all travel documents.

Current mainstream CEX, DEX funding rate display shows the market still maintains an overall bearish view

February 11th — Per Coinglass data, Bitcoin’s downturn has stabilized, with the token reclaiming the $69,000 level. However, current funding rates across major centralized (CEX) and decentralized (DEX) exchanges indicate the market remains predominantly bearish (see attached chart). **BlockBeats Note**: Funding rates are fees set by crypto exchanges to align perpetual contract prices with the underlying asset’s spot price. They function as a transfer between long and short traders—exchanges do not collect this fee. The mechanism adjusts costs or profits for position holders to keep contract prices closely tied to the underlying asset. A 0.01% funding rate is the baseline. Rates above 0.01% signal generally bullish sentiment; rates below 0.005% indicate bearish sentiment.

CZ: AI Agents Could Become the Main Users of Cryptocurrency in the Future, Privacy Sector Still Needs Improvement

**February 11 Update** Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) told the All-In podcast in an interview that AI could emerge as a key cryptocurrency user in the future. Millions of AI agents might run in the background to handle tasks like funding transactions—including paying for podcasts, booking restaurants, and reserving hotels. Traditional banking systems, he noted, can’t support the high-frequency, high-value transactions these agents may execute. AI agents could also manage investment and trading activities, he added. As for a viable payment system for these agents, CZ said the space is still in its early stages, and he declined to speculate on specific crypto projects. Separately, Bitcoin and most cryptocurrencies lack privacy features, as blockchain transactions are traceable. While the crypto industry needs to prioritize enhancing privacy, privacy-focused coins currently have smaller market capitalizations overall.
