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.

According to monitoring by Lookonchain, the wallet associated with Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin (0x1b3...A7C2) holds 243,300 ETH (worth $370 million) and has transferred out 80,001 ETH (worth $12.16 million) after being dormant for over 3 years.

Seven hours ago, he withdrew 20,426 ETH ($37.26 million) from Aave, which was then distributed to 10 new addresses, one of which has 4,144 ETH deposited into the Coinsquare exchange, while other tokens have not yet been transferred or sold.

The cryptocurrency exchange Deepcoin announced that it has been approved for an official license as a Bitcoin Service Provider (BSP) issued by the Central Reserve Bank of El Salvador (Banco Central de Reserva), allowing it to provide regulated Bitcoin-related services under the local compliance framework, including Bitcoin custody, Bitcoin trading, and Bitcoin-related exchange services.El Salvador is the first country in the world to establish Bitcoin as legal tender. The BSP license issued by its central bank directly connects the dual currency system of the US dollar and Bitcoin, and adopts international banking-level high standards for review in international anti-money laundering (AML/CFT) and risk control frameworks. This endorsement by a sovereign nation's legal currency, combined with a very high technical threshold, gives the BSP license significant industry value.Previously, only a few global trading platforms, such as Binance and Bitfinex, had passed this rigorous compliance review. Deepcoin's successful approval means that its technical security and compliance governance have reached the standards of leading international platforms and have received the highest recognition from sovereign regulatory authorities.Having been deeply involved in the industry for many years, Deepcoin has always adhered to the principle of "compliance first." In the future, Deepcoin will strictly operate within the regulatory framework, accelerating the expansion into emerging global markets, and providing local and global users with safe, robust, transparent, and innovative trading services.

Galaxy stated that in March this year, the New York State Supreme Court quietly accepted a lawsuit aimed at confirming the ownership of over 3.7 million bitcoins (approximately $274 billion) associated with 39,069 bitcoin addresses, including addresses belonging to bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto (a total of 21,744 addresses holding 1.09 million bitcoins, valued at $83.7 billion at current prices).The plaintiffs are Noah Doe (a pseudonym) and two unnamed limited liability companies from Wyoming. Noah Doe requests the New York State Supreme Court to declare their ownership of these dormant addresses through a declaratory judgment action under New York State's lost property law (Section 7-B of the Personal Property Law) as per the New York Civil Practice Law and Rules Section 3001.In short, they are attempting to have the New York court rule that the bitcoins of bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto (and many other lost address bitcoins) belong to lost property, and that they have the right to legally own them because they "found" these cryptocurrencies. From June 30 to July 10, 2025, they sent "abandonment notices" via OP_RETURN to each found address.However, even if they win completely, they will ultimately only receive a court statement; they will not obtain any private keys and will not be able to transfer any bitcoins from these addresses. But Galaxy indicates that the real value of the New York ruling lies in its potential to serve as a "title defect," allowing plaintiff Noah Doe to raise objections with exchanges or custodians if these bitcoins appear in any regulated venue.

According to Front Office Sports, former NBA player Tristan Thompson is suing the UK-based cryptocurrency company World Mobile Group, accusing it of fabricating excuses to terminate a $2 million endorsement deal and continuing to use his name, image, and likeness without authorization.Thompson claims that under an agreement signed in May 2025, he was promised cryptocurrency tokens worth up to $2 million from the company, WMTX. He stated that he had been fulfilling his obligations under the agreement, including promoting the company on social media and participating in public events, but the company terminated their collaboration in March of this year. According to the agreement, World Mobile Group was to make quarterly installment payments of the token amounts. In December 2025, the company informed Thompson that they had unexpectedly issued him more WMTX tokens than anticipated. Thompson stated that he proposed a "reasonable solution: to offset the excess tokens against the upcoming quarterly dividends due in about 60 days." Three months later, the company issued him a "notice of material breach and termination of contract." The case is still pending in court.

According to Cointelegraph, plaintiff Noah Doe and two limited liability companies from Wyoming filed a lawsuit in New York, USA, on May 1, seeking a court ruling on their ownership of 39,069 dormant Bitcoin addresses, citing New York State's lost property law, claiming that the relevant addresses' holdings constitute legally "abandoned property."The addresses involved include those starting with "12c6D" associated with Satoshi Nakamoto and those starting with "1Feex" linked to the Mt. Gox hack. According to estimates by Timechain Index founder, the listed addresses hold approximately 3.7 million BTC, valued at around $28.5 billion.However, Noveleader, chief research analyst at investment research firm Castle Labs, pointed out that even if the court rules in favor of the plaintiffs, it would only be symbolic, as the Bitcoin network itself does not have a mechanism for reallocating funds without private keys. Additionally, the plaintiffs sent legal notices to P2PKH format addresses, while the involved BTC is actually stored in P2PK scripts. The analyst believes this move is "structurally flawed," which could render the abandonment notice procedure itself invalid.
