The team says that in its three most recent years, Hydra has grown by roughly 624% year-over-year, making it potentially one of the more popular criminal marketplaces at present.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>The market, which only serves Russian speakers, has managed to avoid more than a short period of downtime or seizure by law enforcement &#8212; at least, for now.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top\" data-component=\"medusaContentRecommendation\" data-medusa-content-recommendation-options=\"{&quot;promo&quot;:&quot;promo_zd_recommendation_sharethrough_top_in_article_desktop&quot;,&quot;spot&quot;:&quot;dfp-in-article&quot;}\"> <\/section>\n<p>Hydra keeps its users in line and has stringent seller requirements, which could be an important aspect of the marketplace&#8217;s illicit success. Since at least July 2018, Hydra operators have demanded that at least 50 successful sales are made before withdrawals are allowed, and an eWallet account containing at least $10,000 has to be maintained.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>When it comes to the cryptocurrency exchanges handling transactions to and from Hydra, Chainalysis deems many &#8220;high-risk&#8221; as they do not enforce Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations. Most are located in Russia, and overall, only a small percentage of transactions are funneled through cryptocurrency platforms generally associated with legitimate trading.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p>Over 1,000 unique deposit addresses and transactions upwards of $7 million, thought to be linked to Hydra, have been recorded.&nbsp; <\/p>\n<figure class=\"image image-large shortcode-image\"><span class=\"img aspect-set \"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/russian-dark-web-marketplace-hydra-cryptocurrency-transactions-reached-1-37bn-in-2020\/\" class=\"lazy\" alt=\"screenshot-2021-05-24-at-16-45-51.png\" height=\"auto\" width=\"470\" data-original=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/a\/hub\/i\/r\/2021\/05\/24\/37b93b41-4142-409d-a11a-354b793d2295\/resize\/470xauto\/3ff2ef6f2bad824afb0c34e1f8bb6ee2\/screenshot-2021-05-24-at-16-45-51.png\"><\/span><noscript><span class=\"img aspect-set \"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/a\/hub\/i\/r\/2021\/05\/24\/37b93b41-4142-409d-a11a-354b793d2295\/resize\/470xauto\/3ff2ef6f2bad824afb0c34e1f8bb6ee2\/screenshot-2021-05-24-at-16-45-51.png\" class alt=\"screenshot-2021-05-24-at-16-45-51.png\" height=\"auto\" width=\"470\"><\/span><\/noscript><figcaption><span class=\"caption\"><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Withdrawals, too, are set through payment services and exchanges &#8220;exclusively or primarily based in Russia and [in] Russian-friendly Eastern European countries,&#8221; according to the report. Hydra requires sellers to convert their profits into fiat, Russian currency.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Despite the iron fist imposed on sellers, Hydra accounts are still highly sought after.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The researchers say a new sub-market has sprung up in recent times to obtain access to established seller accounts, as well as users attempting to skirt around Hydra&#8217;s fiat currency withdrawal requirements &#8212; just for a cut of the profit.
