Ukraine moved more than $8.3 million in seized USDT to ARMA, its asset-recovery agency, marking the country's first actual transfer of seized crypto into state management. Prosecutors say the tokens came from wallets tied to an alleged international hacking group accused of attacks across Europe and the U.S., with damages topping $100 million and four suspects in custody. The handoff matters because Ukraine is already one of Europe's most crypto-active markets, and formal custody rails are what let seized onchain assets become recoverable state property instead of legal limbo.
