Greece Makes First Crypto Seizure Tied to North Korea's $1.5B Bybit Hack

Greek authorities just dropped the hammer on North Korea's crypto loot—marking their first-ever seizure tied to the $1.5B Bybit hack. Talk about a geopolitical plot twist.


The Takeaway:

When a Mediterranean nation intercepts digital spoils from an authoritarian regime's hacking spree, it’s not just a win for law enforcement—it’s a middle finger to crypto’s wild west era. The irony? Traditional finance would’ve taken a decade to trace this. Blockchain transparency strikes again.


The Punchline:

Pyongyang’s hackers might need a new playbook—one that doesn’t involve getting outmaneuvered by a country better known for feta cheese than forensic crypto tracking. Meanwhile, Wall Street still can’t decide if Bitcoin’s a scam or its next revenue stream. Stay tuned.
