Huione Guarantee, dubbed as the 'largest illicit online marketplace', has seen a significant 51% growth over the past six months due to its September launch of a stablecoin USDH.

Launch of USD Stablecoin and Its Impact

Huione Guarantee's growth was significantly boosted by the September launch of its USDH stablecoin aimed at avoiding regulatory oversight. USDH was issued on multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Tron.

Elliptic Investigation and Findings

Elliptic reported that monthly inflows increased by 51% and the user base has surpassed 900,000. The platform represents the largest illicit online marketplace, heavily contributing to money laundering operations in Southeast Asia.

"Perhaps no other single entity bears as much responsibility for the global cyber scam epidemic as Huione Guarantee."

Huione's Technological Developments

Huione launched its own blockchain Huione Chain and a decentralized exchange, alongside a messaging service, which reduces reliance on third-party apps like Telegram.

Huione Guarantee's latest advancements highlight rapid growth and technological innovation. However, the platform remains under scrutiny due to suspected involvement in illicit activities.
