US Officials Seized 145 Domains and Crypto from BidenCash, a Platform Accused of Selling Over 15 Million Stolen Credit Cards.
In a decisive move to crack down on cybercrime, US law enforcement agencies have conducted a raid on BidenCash's financial system—one of the notorious Dark Web marketplaces. According to the announcement on June 5, this court-authorized operation seized 145 domains along with an undisclosed amount of Capital, which was used as the primary revenue stream to operate the platform.
Since its establishment in 2022, BidenCash was identified as having bought and sold over 15 million stolen credit card information, generating estimated revenues exceeding $17 million.
This case is not just a routine sweep but also reveals the sophisticated tactics of criminal organizations. Previously, BidenCash freely released approximately 3.3 million credit card records to attract new customers, a bold marketing strategy in the underground world, demonstrating the scale and severity of these illegal activities.
The latest action by US officials reflects a significant shift in cybercrime fighting strategy: from focusing on individual arrests to completely dismantling technical and financial infrastructure.
The court's permission to seize crypto assets is a crucial element aimed at cutting off financial flows and neutralizing criminal organizations' operational capabilities. The close coordination between agencies like the Secret Service and FBI shows a comprehensive, multi-dimensional approach.
The campaign targeting BidenCash is the latest development in the US's increasingly powerful fight against digital crime. In May, the RapTor operation dismantled multiple drug trading platforms, seizing assets worth $200 million, including crypto.
In March this year, the US also imposed sanctions on Bitcoin and Monero addresses related to the Nemesis Dark Web marketplace, clearly showing an increasing pressure on illegal financial flows.
However, these legal victories still face the reality that the underground economy on the Dark Web continues to grow strongly. The TRM Labs Crypto Crime 2025 report shows that Dark Web marketplaces generated over $1.7 billion in revenue in 2024, with Russian-language platforms still dominating due to less stringent legal environments.
