According to market news, documents from the High Court of England show that a man accused his estranged wife of obtaining the mnemonic phrase for his Trezor hardware wallet through secret recordings, stealing 2,323 bitcoins (approximately $172 million). The man installed recording devices at home after his daughter warned him that his wife was attempting to steal his bitcoins.The recordings included statements such as "the bitcoins have been transferred to me" and "take everything." His bitcoins were transferred on August 2, 2023, and dispersed to 71 different addresses, with no further transactions occurring afterward. After the man reported to the police, his wife was arrested in 2023. The police seized 10 cryptocurrency cold wallets, but his wife was released after undergoing a no-comment interrogation and being granted bail, with the police stating they would not take further action until new evidence emerged.In November 2025, the man applied for an asset preservation injunction, seeking to declare ownership of the bitcoins and recover the assets. The judge believed the likelihood of his success was "very high" and noted that the wife had the opportunity but did not provide a statement regarding the incident. Given the volatility of bitcoin, the judge stated that a hearing needed to be scheduled as soon as possible.

The High Court of England ruled last week that a lawsuit involving the theft of 2,323 bitcoins can proceed to trial. The plaintiff, Ping Fai Yuen, stated in court documents that his estranged wife, Fun Yung Li, secretly obtained the mnemonic phrase for his Trezor hardware wallet using home surveillance cameras in August 2023 and transferred 2,323 bitcoins without permission. At the time of the theft, it was worth nearly $60 million, and at the current price of about $74,000, it is now worth approximately $172 million.Court documents show that the transferred bitcoins were dispersed to 71 blockchain addresses not held on exchanges after multiple transactions, and no further transfers have occurred since December 21, 2023. Yuen claimed that his daughter had warned Li about attempting to steal the bitcoins, after which he installed recording devices in his home. After discovering the transfer, Yuen physically attacked Li and pleaded guilty in 2024 to actual bodily harm and two counts of common assault.Previously, Li had applied to dismiss the case, arguing that the plaintiff's core claim of "conversion" only applies to tangible property and not to digital assets like bitcoins. The judge agreed with this view but ruled that the case could proceed to trial based on other legal claims.

The U.S. President Trump stated that the GENIUS Act, which provides a regulatory framework for stablecoin issuance, is currently being threatened and undermined by the banking industry. He posted on Truth Social that banks are trying to influence the legislative process and urged Congress to expedite the advancement of the crypto market structure bill.Trump stated, "The U.S. must complete market structure legislation as soon as possible. Americans should allow their funds to earn higher returns." He also criticized the banking industry for trying to obstruct the government-driven crypto policy agenda while posting record profits, warning that if the regulatory framework is not clarified soon, the U.S. advantage in the crypto space may shift to countries like China.It is reported that the banking industry has consistently pushed for amendments to the provisions regarding stablecoin yields in the GENIUS Act. Some lobbyists believe that allowing stablecoins to offer yields could attract bank deposits away from the traditional banking system.

He called for the banking industry to reach a reasonable compromise with the crypto industry to align with the overall interests of the American public.

He pointed out that although the draft still has controversies, including restrictions on DeFi privacy, stablecoin yields, and tokenized securities, "compromise is necessary."Previously, Coinbase had withdrawn its support for the bill draft due to related wording. Witt emphasized that rather than waiting for a potentially harsher Democratic version in the future, it is better to seize the current legislative opportunity. The Senate Agriculture Committee will review the bill on January 27.
