Telegram Shuts Down ‘Largest Illicit Online Marketplace’ After Elliptic’s Insights

Telegram has recently taken down the illicit marketplace known as Haowang Guarantee, previously known as Huione Guarantee. This marketplace facilitated transactions totaling over $27 billion in stablecoins since 2021.

The shutdown of Haowang was initiated based on information provided by blockchain analytics firm Elliptic on Tuesday.

This action occurred in the midst of a crackdown on numerous suspected Chinese crypto-crime channels operating on Telegram, following Elliptic’s investigation into marketplace Xinbi Guarantee.

Both Huione and Xinbi have now been shut down by Telegram, as Elliptic reported that they processed a combined $35 billion of illicit transactions in stablecoins in a web post on Wednesday.

“Based on our analysis, Huione Guarantee has facilitated transactions totaling more than $27 billion since its launch in 2021, making it the largest illicit online marketplace to have ever operated,” according to Elliptic.

Xinbi was the second largest, processing transactions worth $8.4 billion since 2022, as stated by Elliptic.

To put it into perspective, well-known “dark web” marketplaces like the Silk Road and Alphabay processed $216 million and $639 million respectively.

These marketplaces typically operated on the anonymous browser Tor in the past, but have now transitioned to platforms like Telegram, a messaging app with over a billion users.

Huione and Xinbi are categorized as “guarantee” marketplaces, which are platforms that do not directly sell goods and services but provide a space for merchants to conduct transactions with customers.
