Updated: Jan 01 2026- Asset Recovery Initiative: Bithumb has launched a dormant asset recovery campaign targeting 2.6 million accounts, involving over $201 million in customer assets, aimed at helping users reclaim assets that have been inactive for over a year, thereby enhancing customer satisfaction and platform engagement.
- Dormant Asset Scale: According to Bithumb, the total dormant assets amount to approximately 291.6 billion Korean won (about $201.8 million), with the largest dormant holding identified at around $2.84 million, reflecting the underutilization of assets held by early crypto market participants.
- Investment Returns: Some dormant assets have posted returns exceeding 61,000%, highlighting significant gains during previous bull market cycles, which further underscores the volatility and potential value within the cryptocurrency market.
- Market Implications: This asset recovery effort not only assists users in rediscovering unclaimed assets but also has the potential to release unrealized liquidity, impacting market supply and demand dynamics, and encouraging more users to re-engage with the crypto market.
