Many people hear me talk about cryptocurrency asset recovery and think I am just fooling around. Little do they know, this is indeed the last resort for ordinary investors to acquire low-priced chips. After reviewing the performance data for 2025, the overall revenue performance is quite good, which is enough to demonstrate how large the market demand is.



This afternoon, I handled a very typical case that is worth sharing.

The person involved had purchased some Bitcoin in the early years and made backups on their local computer. It looks like the mnemonic phrase is complete; some might think—since the mnemonic phrase is in hand, is there still a need for recovery services? That’s the theory, but those who understand the industry know that there are deep intricacies involved.

First of all, the mnemonic phrase provided has a total of 25 words. This is not a standard 12 or 24-word mnemonic phrase, but the result of a special encryption process applied to an old wallet. Secondly, among these 25 words, 2 are incorrect, requiring a mnemonic reset operation before proceeding. Only then can the password collision phase begin. Plus, there are some special operational steps involving trade secrets, making the entire process quite complex.

Looking at the background data of this case makes it clear. It’s an old wallet created in 2015, sealed for 10 years. Between 2015 and 2016, there were frequent transfers in and out of the wallet. After that, it went completely silent, with the Bitcoin inside lying dormant for 10 years until it was reactivated this afternoon.

At 3 o’clock, the group was pulled together; by 3:30, the contract was signed, and the project was immediately launched. That’s the efficiency of a professional team.

This process is indeed intense; with 25 mnemonic words, some are even incorrect. Most people simply can't handle it.

Can you still have 2 mistakes in 25 mnemonic words? This requires a very advanced level of skill... According to on-chain historical data, the activation rate of old wallets that have been dormant for 10 years is actually less than 3%, this guy is really lucky.

Wow, can old coins from 2015 really be dug out? The difficulty of this procedure is indeed a bit outrageous.

A 10-year dormant old coin suddenly activated, this deal is indeed interesting.
