Possible movement of hacked Bitfinex bitcoins
According to the analyst, about 94,636 bitcoins tied to the 2016 Bitfinex hack are still frozen pending legal proceedings. This amount is approximately 30% of the so-called "U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve".
Interestingly, against the backdrop of this news, a premium is observed for the LEO token, the native token of the Bitfinex cryptocurrency exchange. Analysts believe that this may be related to the possible movement of the stolen bitcoins that are under the control of Bitfinex.
The situation with the 94,636 BTC stolen as a result of the Bitfinex hack in 2016 is indeed remarkable. This is a huge amount, equivalent to about 30% of all bitcoins that are believed to make up the U.S. strategic reserve. Given that these funds have been frozen for over 6 years, any signs of their movement are causing increased interest in the crypto community.
Certainly, the further development of this situation will be closely monitored by analysts and market participants. Any movements with these bitcoins could have a significant impact on the entire industry.
