This is the first time that the seized crypto auction will take place in the Republic of Ireland. This auction is scheduled to be held by Wilsons Auctions on Tuesday, March 24. The online auction will be managed from the company’s Dublin branch. This will run for 24 hours starting at 12 noon GMT. In this auction, the global Auction Company will place some $125,000 worth of BTC under the hammer–with no reserve. This Auction will be accessible to many more people when compared with those in the US. The company is putting attention on facilitating newcomers and experienced investors related to the bids.

Asset Recovery Executive at Wilsons Auctions, Mark Woods commented:

Wilsons Auctions is delighted to be holding its next auction of seized bitcoin, even more so because this will be the first of its kind in Ireland. The format has proven popular with our customers, who are able to bid online and purchase cryptocurrency from an established and trusted auction house instead of utilizing online exchanges, which can be a risky and daunting process.
