Huione Darknet Marketplace Continues Operations Despite Shutdown Efforts

Despite its website and Telegram channels shutting down, Huione, a major darknet marketplace, is reportedly still active and expanding. After being banned by Telegram for thousands of associated accounts and channels, Haowang Guarantee (formerly Huione Guarantee) announced its closure on May 13th. However, Chainalysis reports that the platform’s activities haven’t diminished since then. The report highlights that Huione continues to handle billions in transactions, suggesting a robust system operating largely independently of its public-facing infrastructure.
