I’m reaching out to this community because I’m in a very difficult situation and could really use some advice or guidance. Here’s a high-level overview of what happened:
I recently purchased Bitcoin inscribed with rune token Gizmo through magic eden. Purchased around 200K tokens $10,000 at time of purchase using Phantom wallet
After seeing a balance of $600 of BTC in my wallet after buying GIZMO I thought this was leftover bitcoin from the GIZMO buy and transferred it to Coinbase. Later I performed a Bitcoin-to-Solana (BTC-SOL) swap through their system with the BTC which had the GIMZO token on them.
I ended up swapping what should have been $10,000+ worth of Bitcoin for roughly $600 worth of Solana. I was able to trace down the tokens on the blockchain to another wallet that only has 1 lifetime transaction, but I have no way to recover or access them. I’ve went to war with Coinbase support, but they’ve stated that their asset recovery tools do not support Bitcoin or unique tokens like these. They also do not own the wallet that holds the tokens
I understand that blockchain transactions are irreversible and I know this is a massive longshot, but I’m wondering if there is any possible way to:
Recover my inscribed Bitcoin or the value of the assets.
Indirectly contact the unknown owner of this wallet to see if there’s any chance of retrieving them.
Leverage any tools or services that specialize in situations like this.
I’d greatly appreciate any advice, recommendations, or even success stories if someone has experienced something similar. This is a significant financial loss for me, and I’m trying every possible avenue to resolve the issue.
Thank you in advance for your help!
