Cryptocurrencies and NFTs are no longer fringe assets, they’re frontline issues in modern legal disputes. From high-profile divorces to contested wills, courts worldwide are grappling with how to identify, value, and divide digital assets. But what happens when one party hides crypto or “forgets” a wallet password?
The answer is increasingly turning to digital forensics, and that’s where KeyTrace.io steps in.
The Problem: Crypto in Family Law is a Legal Minefield
Traditionally, splitting assets meant bank accounts, property, or pensions. Today, family courts are seeing Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Bored Apes enter the mix, assets that can be easily concealed, moved across borders, or hidden behind anonymous wallets.
Recent reports from Australia and the U.S. show a surge in divorce cases where:
Spouses refuse to disclose wallets or seed phrases
High-value NFTs are “forgotten” during financial disclosures
Crypto is used to obscure true net worth or avoid alimony
Courts are now ordering spouses to hand over two-factor authentication and seed phrases, but enforcing this is a whole different challenge.

A Real Case: Crypto as Property in Divorce
In June 2025, an Australian court made headlines for forcing both parties in a divorce to reveal their wallet credentials, including 2FA and recovery phrases. One party had concealed $650,000 in Ethereum, later uncovered by a blockchain analyst.
It’s part of a growing legal trend: if digital assets exist, they’re disclosable, and with the right tools, traceable.
