Interesting data on the 2025 wallet recovery market has been released. A service provider specializing in non-custodial wallet recovery recovered over $2.5 million in locked assets throughout the year, with the largest single recovery reaching $1.5 million. In terms of asset composition, Bitcoin accounts for seventy percent, with other cryptocurrencies sharing the rest. They are compatible with mainstream wallets like Ledger, Trezor, and MetaMask, and operate on a success fee basis—only charging 20% of the recovered amount upon success. This reflects a phenomenon: more and more people are losing interest in self-custody wallets, but an increasing number are willing to pay for professional recovery services.

Losing keys for a wallet is truly the fate of self-custody... But look, $2.5M was recovered, which actually shows that opportunity is often hidden in despair. Those willing to pay a 20% fee have already come to terms with it — compared to losing everything permanently, this cost is nothing. The prerequisite for rebirth is to stay alive first.

1.5 million single transactions recovered? Man, how anxious do you have to be to lock it for so long without moving?

It's the same old story, a 20% success fee is robbery... No, actually some people do need this.

1.5 million USD in one transaction? My goodness, this is truly a big investor's regret.

1.5 million in one transaction? Even with a 20% fee, it's worth it. The key is to be able to recover it.

Whoa, 1.5 million per order? How long would that wallet be lost... Real cases are scary.
