The increasing prevalence of cryptocurrency is complicating divorce settlements, as highlighted by recent reports. In China, digital assets are legally recognized as 'virtual commodities' with property rights, yet their inherent anonymity and volatility present significant hurdles in asset division. Courts face difficulties in confirming ownership without access to wallet addresses or transaction records, and there is no standardized method for valuing these assets.
Legal experts suggest that individuals involved in divorce proceedings should secure evidence of crypto holdings early, draft clear agreements regarding asset division, and maintain separate wallets to safeguard personal assets. Consulting with legal professionals is also recommended to effectively manage the complexities of crypto-related divorce cases.
