Binance Research reports that roughly 11% of illicit crypto volume was seized in 2025, a rate 55 times higher than the UNODC baseline for fiat recoveries under 1%.
Public actions by Tether, Interpol, the T3 Financial Crime Unit and others drove the figure, with SlowMist and PeckShield tracking 8.3%–13.2% of stolen funds recovered; even excluding the Prince Group $15B BTC seizure, crypto illicit finance seizure rates still ran near 10x the fiat level.
On the 4h chart BTC trades at $78976.42 inside the Bollinger Bands with bearish structure below the EMA50 at $80199.36 and a MACD death cross at -355.41; RSI at 39.64 leaves room for a test of lower support near $78122.4 before any sustained bounce toward upper resistance at $81950.85.
