What is Impermanent Loss in Crypto? (Explained With Animations)
Xinbi is a Chinese-language crypto guarantee marketplace. According to TRM, recent enforcement efforts have changed how these services operate, but have not removed them.
The report said Xinbi continued to function even after Telegram removed many Chinese-language guarantee groups in 2025.
TRM explained that Xinbi kept its user base by shifting to other messaging platforms. The group also launched a linked wallet service called XinbiPay.
On-chain data showed a rise in XinbiPay activity in early 2026, which matched the period when users moved to the new setup.
The report also linked Xinbi to laundering activities. TRM said the service has allegedly supported the movement of funds tied to scam networks and cybercrime groups, including pig-butchering schemes.
