币界网报道:Cryptocurrencies are increasingly becoming a contentious element in divorce settlements as adoption grows, with family lawyers now grappling with how to uncover, value, and divide digital assets in marital splits. Prenups and postnups now frequently include clauses defining crypto as separate or marital property, outlining valuation methods, and specifying division terms, according to Christopher R. Castellano, a principal at Joseph, Greenwald & Laake. Red flags for hidden crypto assets include unexplained cash withdrawals, sudden tech interest, or vague references to crypto apps—though full-scale wealth concealment remains rare. The biggest challenges lie in identification and valuation due to crypto's volatility and pseudonymous nature, with courts typically relying on disclosed values or trial-date assessments. Castellano recommends hiring forensic accountants with on-chain expertise for complex cases, noting that courts treat crypto like any other marital asset, subject to equitable division. Legal professionals are improving their technical understanding but often depend on expert testimony for intricate crypto structures. Transparency is critical, as failing to disclose holdings can lead to serious legal consequences, emphasizing the need for tech-savvy legal guidance early in divorce proceedings.
