I found this report on crypto asset seizures over the past few years quite interesting. According to a study by China's National Computer Virus Response Center, the US managed to confiscate over $30 billion in global crypto assets between 2022 and 2025. That's quite a lot.

What stands out is that a massive portion of that came from a single case — Chen Zhi, founder of Prince Group in Cambodia. This case alone accounts for around $15 billion, or half of all confiscated assets. It shows how a specific case can involve an enormous amount of crypto assets.

The report also mentions a major exchange and its former CEO, who has become a reference for how the US uses legal and regulatory tools to enforce its jurisdiction globally. It seems the American strategy is quite aggressive when it comes to enforcement in the crypto space.

All of this raises an interesting question about the reality of circulating crypto assets and how governments are moving. It's worth keeping an eye on these trends if you're following the market.
