#US government demands return of stolen bitcoins#

The U.S. government has stated clearly in court documents that the 94,000 BTC stolen in the 2016 Bitfinex hack should be returned to the cryptocurrency exchange in kind. This request means the government will not sell the Bitcoins but instead return them directly to Bitfinex. This move has sparked industry-wide attention regarding how the government handles seized cryptocurrencies and reflects the government's increasing attention to cryptocurrency assets. Meanwhile, HashKey Group predicts that Bitcoin will break $300,000 in 2025, a prediction that has brought new expectations to the cryptocurrency market. Despite current market volatility, the government's handling of the stolen Bitcoins and the positive predictions from institutional investors both suggest that the cryptocurrency market still holds immense potential for growth.
