When Crypto Goes Missing – Legal Paths to Recovery

As the popularity of digital assets grows, so does the sophistication of crypto-related fraud. From phishing attacks and exchange hacks to rug pulls and wallet theft, victims often find themselves lost in a borderless, decentralized ecosystem.

But crypto doesn’t mean lawless.

Legal recovery begins with traceability — identifying where stolen funds moved using blockchain forensics. Once tracked, the next step involves issuing legal actions like injunctions or freezing orders across jurisdictions. While decentralized finance (DeFi) presents unique legal challenges, recent global precedents prove that courts are increasingly recognizing crypto as property subject to recovery.

Victims should act fast. Time is critical in tracing assets before they are laundered or bridged across chains.
