Huione darknet humming at ‘full capacity’ despite shutdown
Despite repeated attempts to stamp out the crypto-crime-linked Huione, Chainalysis says there’s been no meaningful decline in transactions.
Major darknet marketplace Huione is reportedly still operating and growing, despite the shutdown of its website and Telegram channels.
Haowang Guarantee, formerly Huione Guarantee, said on May 13 that it was shutting down after the Telegram messaging service banned thousands of its associated accounts and channels.
However, Chainalysis said in a report on Thursday that the activity linked to the illicit marketplace since the so-called “shutdown” hasn’t declined.
