Law enforcement agencies are increasing scrutiny over how seized digital assets are stored and managed after several high-profile incidents. In the United States, the United States Marshals Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are investigating a multimillion-dollar theft involving cryptocurrency seized during criminal cases.

Similar concerns have emerged internationally. Authorities in South Korea recently arrested two individuals connected to a case involving 22 stolen Bitcoin that had been confiscated by police after a 2021 exchange hack. Officials say the incident has prompted a broader review of how governments safeguard digital assets held in custody.
