#The U.S. government is demanding that Bitfinex return the stolen Bitcoin.#

The U.S. government has demanded in court documents that Bitfinex return 94,000 Bitcoin stolen in a 2016 hack, and has requested the return in physical form. This demand means the government wants Bitfinex to return the stolen Bitcoin, not to compensate with an equivalent amount in U.S. dollars or other currencies. This request has drawn industry attention, as it is the first time the government has demanded a cryptocurrency exchange to return stolen cryptocurrency in physical form. Meanwhile, HashKey Group has predicted Bitcoin will break $300,000 in 2025, a forecast that has also sparked discussion about the future price trajectory of Bitcoin in the market. This series of events indicates that the government's attitude towards cryptocurrency is changing, and it is starting to view cryptocurrency as an asset class that needs strict regulation.
