Irish drug dealer’s lost 500 BTC reawakens after 10 years, likely moved by police

Strategic Analysis // Ian Gross

"The movement of long-dormant, seized BTC by law enforcement highlights the increasing institutionalization of crypto asset recovery and management by state actors. This trend introduces a new, albeit unpredictable, source of supply into the market, potentially influencing liquidity and price discovery for legacy holdings. Furthermore, it underscores evolving regulatory postures toward digital assets as governments become significant holders and movers of crypto."
