Offline Asset Seizure is the legal confiscation of physical assets that are not directly connected to a digital network. This typically refers to hardware wallets or other physical storage mediums containing cryptocurrency private keys. Law enforcement agencies execute such seizures as part of criminal investigations or asset forfeiture orders. It aims to secure digital assets by controlling their physical access points.
