A report cited by BlockBeats said an article published in Procuratorial Daily, the official newspaper of China’s Supreme People’s Procuratorate, laid out a proposed prosecution framework for cryptocurrency money laundering cases. The article was written by researchers from the Yuhu District People’s Procuratorate of Xiangtan, Hunan, and the Law School division of Xiangtan University.
The piece suggested that courts could infer criminal intent when a suspect used mixers or privacy coins and failed to provide a reasonable rebuttal. It also proposed using verifiable on-chain records and reports from blockchain analytics firms as evidence in such cases. In a separate recommendation, the article called for a national-level platform to hold and dispose of seized crypto assets through compliant channels such as targeted auctions.
The article said Chinese prosecutors had charged more than 3,000 people in cryptocurrency-related money laundering cases since 2024. It also cited Chainalysis data saying Chinese-language laundering networks processed about $16 billion in 2025, accounting for roughly one-fifth of the global crypto money laundering total. BlockBeats noted that the article itself does not carry legal force.
