Greece Just Stopped a $1.5Bn Crypto Heist: This Is How Athens Saved Your Bags

Greek authorities have frozen a crypto wallet linked to the record-breaking $1.5 billion hack of the Bybit exchange, marking the country’s first major enforcement action involving stolen digital assets.

According to Greek news outlets Proto Thema and Kathimerini, the Hellenic Anti-Money Laundering Authority (HAMLA) acted on intelligence received in May, which identified a significant inflow of Ether (ETH) to a user account on a Greek crypto trading platform.

Using forensic blockchain analysis tools, HAMLA confirmed that the funds originated from the massive Bybit breach in February 2025.
