Greece Makes Crypto History: First-Ever Seizure Recovers Stolen Bybit Hack Funds

Greece recovers part of funds stolen in Bybit hack as its first crypto asset seizure

Greek authorities just pulled off a crypto coup—recovering a chunk of the digital loot stolen in the infamous Bybit exchange hack. This marks the country's first successful crypto asset seizure, proving even bureaucrats can (occasionally) outmaneuver blockchain bandits.

Who said governments move slow? While Wall Street still debates ETF approvals, Greece just schooled everyone on actual crypto enforcement. The recovered amount wasn't disclosed—probably to avoid embarrassing other nations still struggling with their first Web3 subpoena.

This seizure sets a fiery precedent: exchanges aren't the only players who can track stolen crypto anymore. Watch out hackers—the taxman cometh (and he's finally upgraded from Excel spreadsheets to blockchain explorers).
