Can stolen crypto from a wallet be recovered?

Once crypto is stolen from a wallet, recovery is very difficult because blockchain transactions are irreversible. However, stolen funds can sometimes be tracked using blockchain explorers, and victims can report theft to exchanges if stolen coins are moved there. Some blockchain analytics firms specialize in tracing stolen assets and may work with law enforcement. In rare cases, stolen funds are frozen if they reach a regulated exchange. Realistically, prevention is more effective than recovery, so securing wallets and avoiding phishing scams is critical. Traders should assume stolen crypto is almost impossible to reclaim.
