On Jan. 25, Caixin reported that in the case of Qian Zhimin’s 60,000 BTC money laundering, British prosecutors still insist the proposal they submitted to the court on Oct. 15, 2025 — to set aside a portion of assets during civil asset recovery for overall compensation to a large number of Chinese victims — is the most effective practical solution. This means once the assets (funds) are set aside, Chinese and British law enforcement can later transfer them to China to implement a specific victim compensation plan, which will disburse payouts after verifying victims’ identities and losses. Notably, Chinese victims hoping for a relatively “satisfactory” high payout from Bitcoin’s multi-year price surge under this approach will be disappointed: the proposal’s implied compensation boundary mostly covers actual losses already registered and confirmed by Chinese police.

January 25th: Per EmberCN monitoring, an ETH whale who had borrowed USDT by staking ETH on Spark reduced their position to protect collateral amid a drop in ETH prices.

January 25th — Per GMGN market data (link: https://gmgn.ai/bsc/token/i_m4TE56o8_0xf74548802f4c700315f019fde17178b392ee4444), the BSC-based meme coin "memes" has surged over 85% in the past 6 hours, with its 24-hour gain climbing to 102.3%. It’s currently valued at $18.5 million, and its 24-hour trading volume has hit $39 million.
