What People Expect

Some people believe that because cryptocurrency isn't held in a conventional bank or investment account, it falls outside the disclosure obligations in financial proceedings.

Court Reality

Crypto is a financial asset like any other and must be disclosed on Form E in the same way as savings, shares or property. Treating it as invisible to the court is a common and risky misunderstanding, since non-disclosure can lead to adverse findings and costs.
