A pesar das ameazas recentes dos funcionarios canadenses, non se poden conxelar os activos "Cripto real" ou descentralizados
Over the last week, there’s been a lot of discussion about Canada ‘freezing’ digital currency accounts that are associated with the Canadian trucker’s Freedom Convoy. Amid the topical conversation, it should be stressed that decentralized cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and ethereum, cannot be frozen directly within the network. However, the Canadian government can flag specific digital currency addresses and take it even further, by asking centralized entities like crypto exchanges and payment processors to freeze the funds.
Canadian Officials Can Flag Crypto Addresses and Threaten Exchanges, but They Can’t ‘Freeze Bitcoin'
Last week, the Canadian government and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invocado the country’s Emergencies Act and enacted Canada’s terrorist financing policy in order to blanket cryptocurrencies donations. Trudeau and the government did this to quell the protesters occupying the streets of Ottawa.
The Canadian government managed to get Gofundme to apagado the Freedom Convoy’s fundraiser and it flagged 34 crypto addresses allegedly associated with crypto fundraisers. Reports had indicated that Canada’s police sent letters to banks and crypto-asset exchanges and insisted that companies “cease facilitating any transactions” with the aforementioned flagged addresses.
Segundo to a number of financial institutions and crypto companies, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) did in fact send the letters. Furthermore, another denunciar details that an Ontario Superior Court judge has ordered financial institutions to freeze any assets tied to the Freedom Convoy including digital assets.
The order reportedly derived from a “secret hearing” initiated by Ottawa residents and attorney Paul Champ. “I can confirm that this is the first successful Mareva order in Canada targeting bitcoin and cryptocurrency exchanges,” Champ explained to the press.
Mentres tanto, a pesar dos titulares que falan sobre a conxelación directa de activos criptográficos, hai que ter en conta que isto só pode ocorrer ameazando a execución e apuntando ás ramplas de saída de cripto-a-fiat.
Onte, o Tribunal Superior de Xustiza de Ontario enviounos unha orde Mareva na que nos ordenou conxelar e divulgar información sobre os bens implicados no #FreedomConvoy2022 movemento.

It is impossible to freeze a bitcoin (BTC) ou ethereum (ETH) address and render it useless to the owner. The only way to do that is by using force or threats of imprisonment or death and ultimately obtaining a crypto owner’s private keys. This is why fundraisers, like the BTC fund that raised 21 bitcoin, utilizar controis de sinatura múltiple.
According to the software developers behind the non-custodial bitcoin carteira nunchucks, the team was sent a Mareva injunction letter. Nunchuk escribiu de volta ao Tribunal Superior de Xustiza de Ontario e díxolle ao tribunal que non podía cumprir as ordes.

O conselleiro delegado de Kraken, Jesse Powell: "Non podemos protexelo: fíxate en cripto real"
O CEO de Kraken, Jesse Powell, explicou en Twitter que se a xente está preocupada por conxelar os seus fondos criptográficos, non deberían manter a criptomoneda en plataformas centralizadas. Responder a alguén comentando sobre os intercambios criptográficos que conxelan fondos, Powell dixo que este foi o caso "100%.
"100% si, ocorrerá e 100% si, estaremos obrigados a cumprir", dixo Powell. "Se estás preocupado por iso, non garde os teus fondos con ningún custodio centralizado/regulado. Non podemos protexelo", Powell Tweet. Nun máis tarde chilrear, Powell discutiu que ir en cadea aos tokens de reserva superior como stablecoins tampouco pode ser seguro.
“You’re not necessarily safe just going on-chain,” Powell said. “The top reserve tokens with centralized issuance and redemption, like USDT and USDC have centralized control of freeze functionality that can be commandeered as easily as a bank account. Stick to real crypto,” he added. Both USDC and USDT issuers have frozen specific stablecoin addresses in the past.
In July 2020, Circle’s Centre Consortium blacklisted $100,000 en USDC after getting a solicitar from law enforcement. Tether has blacklisted hundreds of USDT addresses and last month, the company conxelouse 160 millóns de dólares USDT. So while digital currency exchanges, crypto payment processors, financial institutions, and banks can “cease facilitating any transactions” with crypto addresses, decentralized assets or “real crypto” cannot be commandeered unless the accounts’ private keys are taken by threats or physical force.
