“The permanent loss of assets is one of the biggest obstacles to mainstream adoption,” Donnelly told Cointelegraph in a written statement. “We have seen huge media coverage of cryptocurrency hackers precisely because they are irreversible, without the “undo” button like traditional finance.”
Donnelly said agencies must know that their assets can be recovered before entering the space with a serious conviction.
“Institutions regard asset recovery as a basic requirement, not a good one. As more businesses hold digital assets, it becomes crucial to ensure that these assets do not simply disappear. The institution’s mindset is related to risk management and fiduciary obligations.”

“The idea of losing Bitcoin is just ‘donating’ to other holders is not very good at institutional users,” he said.
Estimates vary, ledger Report Between 2.3 million and 3.7 million BTC, losses may not be recovered, accounting for about 11% to 18% of the fixed supply of Bitcoin.
“Most people don’t have real self-customers; it’s technically complex and has irreversible risks,” Donnelly said. “There’s a reason we have intermediaries and custodians in traditional finance: when something goes wrong, they provide a safety net.”
