In a major development for victims of blocked crypto swaps, more than $4.3 million in digital assets frozen by Changelly has been successfully recovered after months of uncertainty. The case stands out as one of the first known high-value recoveries involving swaps stuck through the Changelly platform.

The victim, a long-time user of Ledger Live, initiated four separate USDT-to-BTC swaps in August 2025 using Changelly’s built-in integration. Each transaction, totaling $4.3 million was correctly submitted, confirmed on-chain, and routed to the appropriate wallet. Yet, no Bitcoin was ever delivered. The funds vanished, and support went silent.

Over the next two months, the victim followed every official procedure: submitting tickets, completing KYC, providing proof of fund origin and wallet ownership, and even escalating publicly via Reddit and Twitter. Despite doing everything right, they were met with either automated replies or complete silence.

With no remaining options, the user turned to TrackIntel.net , a crypto tracking intelligence company that helped apply pressure on Changelly by combining technical blockchain analysis including evidence that the user’s addresses passed AML checks, with direct platform escalation and routing tracebacks.

Within weeks of TrackIntel’s involvement, the full $4.3M was returned to the user’s wallet. Changelly did not comment publicly or acknowledge fault, but the case was quietly closed.

This recovery sets an important precedent. As similar complaints continue to surface across the crypto ecosystem, it shows that high-value cases are not dead ends, and with the right support, frozen funds can be recovered. For many stuck in limbo, it’s a first sign of real hope.
