Cryptocurrency Offences and the Law

Under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, Fraud Act 2006, and Computer Misuse Act 1990, offences involving cryptocurrencies include activities such as using digital assets for fraud, laundering criminal proceeds through exchanges, or unlawfully accessing wallets and trading systems.

  • Manipulating or disguising transactions linked to criminal conduct.
  • Operating unlicensed exchanges or wallets for illegal use.
  • Acquiring, possessing or transferring crypto assets obtained unlawfully.

  • Knew or suspected the crypto assets were the proceeds of crime.
  • Participated intentionally in a fraudulent or unauthorised activity.
  • Benefited financially from the criminal conduct or its proceeds.

Investigations may involve the Crown Prosecution Service, Serious Fraud Office, Financial Conduct Authority, National Crime Agency or HMRC. Evidence may include blockchain records, exchange data, computer devices and transaction histories. Wallet tracing, IP analysis and metadata extraction are often used. 

Our cryptocurrency defence solicitors scrutinise every piece of evidence and test how it has been obtained, interpreted and linked to you. These cases require a careful approach that combines legal strategy with technical understanding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cryptocurrency-related offences can arise under several laws in England and Wales, including the Fraud Act 2006, Computer Misuse Act 1990 and Proceeds of Crime Act 2002. These may involve cryptoasset fraud, hacking, phishing, unauthorised system access, or the transfer, concealment or conversion of criminal property using digital assets. 

Penalties vary depending on the allegation, value involved and your alleged role. Convictions can result in substantial fines, confiscation proceedings, serious reputational damage and, in the most serious cases, lengthy custodial sentences. 

Our team provides support from the earliest stage, including police interview representation, regulatory investigation advice and trial defence preparation. We work to protect your rights and build a defence around the evidence. 

Seek legal advice immediately. Do not discuss the case with anyone other than your solicitor, and do not provide devices, passwords or statements to investigators without specialist legal representation present.
