New York Lawsuit Takes Aim At 3.79 Million Dormant Bitcoin

A lawsuit filed in New York by "Noah Doe" and two Wyoming LLCs seeks a court declaration that approximately 39,069 long-dormant Bitcoin wallets, allegedly holding about 3.79 million BTC, are legally abandoned property. The plaintiffs claim to have identified the wallets, reported them to the NYPD, and conducted a notification campaign via blockchain messages and a webpage. They argue this satisfies New York's lost-property laws, transferring ownership rights to them. The claim includes addresses linked to Satoshi Nakamoto and early miners, though the complaint itself does not specify these attributions or the total BTC amount. The case centers on the novel legal argument that inactive self-custodied crypto addresses constitute recoverable abandoned property, despite the practical impossibility of accessing the funds without private keys. The campaign was connected to Salomon Brothers Strategic Advisors, a firm separate from the historic Wall Street entity.

New York AG Sues Coinbase, Gemini Over Alleged State Law Violations

New York Attorney General Letitia James has filed a lawsuit against Coinbase and Gemini, alleging their prediction markets violate state gambling laws. The complaint argues these platforms operate as unlicensed gambling activities since outcomes rely on chance, not skill. Both companies are also accused of allowing users under 21, the legal age for mobile sports betting in New York. The suit seeks restitution for customers, repayment of illegal profits, civil penalties, and restrictions on marketing, including a ban on promoting services on college campuses. Following the news, Coinbase's stock fell roughly 10%, while Gemini's dropped about 4%.

Odaily's On-Site Experience at Polymarket's First New York Store: The Most Timely Charity and Marketing

Polymarket, a crypto prediction market platform, opened a free pop-up grocery store named "The Polymarket" in Lower Manhattan, New York, on February 12th. The initiative, framed as a charity event, offered all items—from fresh produce to household essentials—completely free until February 16th. Despite a delayed opening, hundreds of New Yorkers queued for hours, with lines stretching multiple blocks. Most attendees were unaware of Polymarket's core business as a prediction market, learning of the event through social media or community groups. The operation was meticulously organized, with staff assisting shoppers and a limit of one bag per person. In addition to the pop-up, Polymarket donated $1 million to the Food Bank For New York City. The timing was notable, coinciding with a proposal by the new mayor to open city-run low-cost grocery stores. A competitor, Kalshi, ran a similar promotion days earlier. While clearly a marketing effort, the event provided tangible relief to residents grappling with high living costs, with many expressing gratitude for the support.

New York's "Egg Giveaway" Battle: Polymarket Opens a Store, Kalshi Issues Coupons, What Are the Giants Up To?

Two prediction market giants, Kalshi and Polymarket, are launching offline promotional campaigns in New York to attract users and influence regulatory perception. Ahead of the Super Bowl, Kalshi offered $50 worth of free groceries at a local market through a limited-time pop-up event, encouraging participation in low-stakes predictions like local gas price changes. Polymarket went further, announcing the opening of a “free grocery store” in New York and donating $1 million to a food bank, while distributing free produce like tomatoes and eggs—a tactic reminiscent of classic user-acquisition strategies in China. The $50 offer holds significant value in New York: it can buy about 1.5 pounds of beef, five McDonald’s meals, or cover two days of food for an average person. Both campaigns drew considerable public attention, with long queues reported. Beyond user growth, these moves appear strategically timed amid regulatory scrutiny. New York state lawmakers are considering bills to restrict prediction markets, likening them to unregulated gambling. By addressing food affordability—a key issue aligned with local political discourse—Kalshi and Polymarket may be attempting to shape a more favorable regulatory environment, even though direct oversight falls to state and federal authorities.

Ledger Targets U.S. IPO With Over $4 Billion Valuation as Crypto Security Demand Grows

French crypto hardware wallet maker Ledger is preparing for a U.S. IPO, targeting a valuation exceeding $4 billion, according to a Financial Times report. The company is working with Goldman Sachs and Jefferies and is eyeing a New York listing, potentially in 2026. CEO Pascal Gauthier stated the U.S. was chosen because "the money is in New York," reflecting a trend of crypto firms turning to American markets. Ledger's valuation has surged from $1.5 billion in its last 2023 funding round. Its growth is driven by high demand for self-custody wallets amid rising fears of exchange hacks and crypto scams, which saw $17 billion stolen in 2025. The company claims to secure roughly $100 billion in Bitcoin and generated hundreds of millions in revenue last year. This IPO underscores the increasing centrality of security and custody in the crypto industry.

CRYPTO Act Proposal: Unlicensed Operations In New York Could Lead To 15 Years In Prison

A new bill called the "CRYPTO Act" has been proposed in New York, aiming to impose stricter regulations on digital asset firms. Introduced by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and State Senator Zellnor Myrie, the legislation would criminalize unlicensed cryptocurrency operations, including exchanging, trading, or transporting digital assets. Currently, such activities only face civil penalties. Under the proposed law, unlicensed operations could be classified as a felony, with penalties ranging from a misdemeanor to up to 15 years in prison for transactions exceeding $1 million annually. The bill aims to align state regulations with federal standards and combat money laundering and illicit activities facilitated by what Bragg described as a "shadow financial system." The push for stronger oversight coincides with concerns from federal lawmakers regarding the SEC's enforcement approach toward digital asset securities.
