After 14 years, Bitcoin addresses from the Satoshi Nakamoto era have shown activity, and some dormant wallets may still be controlled by their original owners

According to CoinDesk, an address from the "Satoshi era" that has never been used since March 2011, holding 35.55 bitcoins (approximately $2.54 million), made a transfer this week, which is seen as one of the first publicly visible responses from defendants in a lawsuit involving approximately 3.8 million bitcoins (valued at about $285 billion) in New York.On-chain data shows that the address transferred 15 BTC to a new address on June 2, keeping the remaining 20.55 BTC as change. The address initially received bitcoins on March 27, 2011, when the price of BTC was less than $1.In March of this year, a plaintiff using the pseudonym "Noah Doe" filed a lawsuit in New York state court alongside two LLCs from Wyoming, attempting to claim ownership of approximately 3.8 million long-dormant bitcoin wallets under New York's lost property law, positioning themselves as the "discoverer." The court approved sending on-chain notifications to the relevant wallets via the bitcoin OP_RETURN field.In July 2025, the advisory firm Salomon Brothers Strategic Advisors sent dust transactions with links to legal notices to 39,000 wallets, including the aforementioned address, requesting holders to prove ownership within 90 days.Alex Thorn, head of research at Galaxy Research, pointed out that the address corresponds to defendant number 38215 in the case, stating, "Clearly, these bitcoins have not actually been abandoned."Additionally, another address that had been dormant for 15 years, 1CDSyXAQxro4FPUoqAQb81642ruqDsUiNp, also transferred 20 BTC (approximately $1.48 million) on the same day, but this address did not appear on Noah Doe's list of lawsuits.Analysis suggests that the on-chain movements mentioned above indicate that some bitcoins from the Satoshi era, considered "abandoned assets," are actually still under the control of the original holders.

The second trial of the 660,000 yuan virtual currency theft case in Wuhan, China, has been revised: the main culprit was sentenced to ten years and six months in prison, and the amount stolen was determined based on the actual payment cost incurred by the victim

According to the "Procuratorial Daily," Lin, Zeng, and Dai conspired to use virtual currency trading as a pretext. During the trading process, they secretly filmed the victim's digital wallet private key and, after the virtual currency was credited, secretly logged into the victim's wallet to reverse the transaction, transferring the related virtual currency back to their controlled accounts. The three committed the crime three times, causing the victim a total economic loss of 660,000 yuan.The first-instance court held that in the absence of a clear judicial interpretation regarding the valuation method of virtual currency and sentencing standards, it was inappropriate to directly determine the amount involved as particularly huge based on the victim's purchase amount of 660,000 yuan. Therefore, they sentenced the three based on "other serious circumstances," imposing prison terms ranging from eight years to five years and six months, along with fines. The Hanyang District Procuratorate of Wuhan City in Hubei Province subsequently filed an appeal, which was supported by the Wuhan City Procuratorate.The prosecution argued that the first-instance court applied the law incorrectly and imposed an excessively light sentence. Prosecutor Dai Wentao of the Wuhan City Procuratorate stated that in the case where the victim had a clear loss amount to refer to, it was contradictory and legally erroneous to claim that the value of virtual currency could not be determined. In judicial practice, using the resale price and transaction price as the basis for determining the amount of theft has become mainstream, and determining the value of virtual currency based on the actual cost paid by the victim has factual, legal, and practical basis.The Intermediate Court of Wuhan accepted the prosecution's opinion in the second instance, revoked the corresponding content of the original judgment, and changed the determination of the theft amount to particularly huge. It sentenced the principal offender Lin to ten years and six months in prison for theft, and sentenced the accomplices Zeng and Dai to eight years in prison each, along with fines.

Bitget CEO elaborates on Bitget's RWA strategy and reveals plans to continue expanding asset categories

Bitget CEO Gracy Chen recently elaborated on Bitget's strategic layout in the field of tokenized assets during an online AMA titled "The Future of RWA" hosted by Reality. She revealed that since proposing the Universal Exchange (UEX) strategy in early 2025, Bitget has been accelerating its evolution from a traditional crypto exchange to a platform covering all categories of assets. During a meeting with the COO of BlackRock, she introduced the "10% Vision": it is expected that by 2030, approximately 10% of global financial assets will exist in tokenized form. Currently, the penetration rate of tokenized stocks is only 0.01%, indicating a significant incremental space in traditional financial markets, which is precisely the trend that Reality is built upon.Gracy summarized "why now" as the convergence of five major trends: stablecoins have become a global settlement channel, especially in regions where fiat currencies are weak, creating demand for dollar-denominated investment products; there is a surge in user willingness for diversified asset allocation; blockchain performance, custody, compliance, and market maker systems are maturing; regulatory frameworks in the US, Europe, and Hong Kong are moving from ambiguity to structured clarity; and the market's demand for capital efficiency is driving the release of new liquidity in tokenized assets.When discussing the pain points of the tokenized stock market, Gracy stated that some existing issuers often cause a deviation between the token price and the underlying asset price when handling corporate actions such as dividends and stock splits. The Reality platform is focused on addressing this issue by strictly aligning the Net Asset Value (NAV), supporting the mapping of dividends and corporate actions, and enhancing the consistency between tokenized assets and the real underlying assets. She also revealed that Bitget will continue to expand asset categories and further improve the UEX Universal Exchange ecosystem.
