Are Crypto Assets Property in Insolvency? Understanding the 420% Surge in Cases


The rapid rise of cryptocurrency and digital assets has changed the financial landscape, and now it is reshaping insolvency and bankruptcy too. Over the past five years, the number of insolvency cases involving crypto assets in the UK has grown by an astonishing 420%, according to the Insolvency Service. In response, the Service recently appointed its first dedicated crypto asset specialist to trace and recover digital assets in insolvency proceedings.

This surge reflects a new challenge for insolvency practitioners, regulators and company directors alike. As more businesses and individuals hold value in cryptocurrency, a pressing question arises: are crypto assets considered “property” in insolvency?

Two landmark UK cases, AA v Persons Unknown (2019) and Ion Science Ltd v Persons Unknown (2020), have helped establish the legal framework for answering that question. In this article, we explore how the courts have approached crypto assets, what these rulings mean in practice, and how insolvency professionals such as those at Simple Liquidation are adapting to this evolving area.
