Cryptocurrency in China’s Legal System: Challenges and the Push for Clear Judicial Guidelines
In China’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, handling cryptocurrency in criminal cases presents unique challenges. Despite strict regulations classifying crypto-related activities as illegal financial operations, seized digital assets often hold significant value. Courts, prosecutors, and law enforcement agencies must determine how to identify ownership, secure private keys, and decide when and how to convert these volatile assets. At the same time, technical hurdles, compliance concerns, and the absence of unified guidelines call for clearer national policies. As stakeholders push for comprehensive judicial disposal procedures, China’s approach to regulating and managing seized cryptocurrency could become a global reference point for balancing innovation with financial security and the rule of law.
