Bitcoin BTCUSD, +0.73% rose 20.
Martha Reyes, head of research at crypto exchange Bequant, said she is “less convinced” that bitcoin’s price is out of the woods yet, but sees its long-term potential. DOJ seizes $3.6B in bitcoin from Bitfinex hack The U.S. Department of Justice said it recovered $3.6 billion in bitcoin stolen in a 2016 hack of the crypto exchange Bitfinex, the agency’s largest financial seizure in history, MarketWatch’s Lukas Alpert reported.
“As hackers continue to target businesses and individuals, this case demonstrates how the permanent record left by the blockchain can assist in recovery,” blockchain data platform Chainalysis wrote in Tuesday notes. “I get really bullish on seeing stuff like that, because, to me, the cycle of cryptocurrency is all about adoption,” David Martin, product manager at crypto-trading platform Falcon X told MarketWatch in an interview.
“If you think back to mid- to late 90s, ads alone did not lift the fortunes of online brokers — they rose and fell in large part in correlation with how markets behaved in general,” according to Farrokhnia.
