Cryptocurrency Asset Discovery Guide
How to Locate Digital Assets for Litigation, Divorce, Probate, and Judgment Enforcement
Digital assets and cryptocurrency are increasingly important considerations in judgment enforcement, high-net-worth divorces, probate matters, and civil litigation. Yet attorneys seeking to locate such assets frequently encounter situations where blockchain evidence — such as a wallet address or transaction hash — is not available at the outset. Instead, they may start with a suspicion that digital assets exist, combined with incomplete disclosures, bank statements, and financial discovery involving a debtor, spouse, decedent, or defendant.
Our three-part guide explains how bank records, targeted third-party discovery, and exchange records can be used to locate and document digital assets.
Finding Cryptocurrency in Bank Records
Recognizing transfers and other evidence of cryptocurrency activity in conventional financial records, including subtle signals that are often overlooked.Locating Crypto Exchange Accounts
Identifying cryptocurrency exchanges and other virtual asset service providers through targeted third-party discovery.Making Sense of Cryptocurrency Exchange Records
Understanding exchange account records, transaction histories, trading records, and other information obtained through discovery or subpoena.
Cryptocurrency asset discovery often begins with conventional financial records rather than the blockchain. Once relevant accounts, transactions, or wallet addresses are identified, forensic analysis and blockchain investigation can help establish the nature, movement, and disposition of digital assets.
