US Sanctions $24B Scam Marketplace Xinbi, Seizes Infrastructure

The designation matters less as a single takedown than as a stress test of the displacement pattern: enforcement pushes a marketplace's users toward a successor, and the successor's operators are already advertising a stablecoin chosen for freeze-resistance. That is an issuer-level problem as much as a venue-level one, since the value of any dollar token rests on the credible ability to blacklist. The open question is whether the seized infrastructure degrades the network or simply triggers another migration, and whether the named rival stablecoin draws scrutiny next.
