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.

ZachXBT once again accuses the LAB project of market manipulation harming retail investors, with over 95% of the tokens being controlled

On-chain detective ZachXBT has released a lengthy article exposing the LAB project and its founder (@vsadkovv). The LAB token has surged to a $6 billion FDV, but the situation is very opaque.The team was founded by Vova Sadkov and Mark, whose previous Eesee project left many investors dissatisfied. Currently, the circulation data for LAB is chaotic, with Coingecko, RootData, and CMC reporting different circulation figures. The official team has not clearly disclosed the token distribution, and there is a significant overlap between investors and trading platforms. Most critically, insiders likely control over 95% of the tokens, leaving retail investors completely unaware of the true circulation situation.Additionally, the LAB team unilaterally changed the public sale lock-up period from 3 months to 9 months, while also defaulting on marketing fees, providing special treatment to KOLs and whales, and requiring them to post promotional content. The founder has mixed project funds with personal accounts, with large amounts of money directly entering the trading platform's recharge address. Insiders can sell off tokens without retail investors being aware.On-chain data shows that insiders recently withdrew over 100 million LAB from trading platforms, worth hundreds of millions of dollars, using tactics similar to those seen in previously manipulated projects. ZachXBT calls for trading platforms to conduct a thorough investigation and delist or freeze related funds. Furthermore, ZachXBT specifically states: this is not a short-selling recommendation. With such high supply control, short-selling instead becomes fuel.
