The US government has seized approximately $31 million in cryptocurrency that was stolen during a significant hack of Uranium Finance in 2021. This operation marks a notable effort by authorities to combat cybercrime and recover assets for victims of digital theft.
The hack, which targeted the decentralized finance platform, resulted in a substantial loss for investors and raised concerns about the security of cryptocurrency platforms.

Officials have stated that the recovery of these assets underscores the commitment to tackling financial crimes in the rapidly evolving digital landscape. The investigation continues as authorities seek to identify the perpetrators behind the hack and hold them accountable. This seizure not only represents a win for law enforcement but also serves as a warning to those engaging in similar illicit activities in the cryptocurrency space.
