Before-the-event crypto legal expenses insurance

Could you afford to recover your crypto assets if they were lost due to fraud or theft?

For victims of crypto asset investment fraud, the cost of trying to recover lost assets can quickly escalate. Legal fees, court fees, investigatory fees, witness statements, expert reports, counsel’s opinions. It all adds up.

In fact, it can cost upwards of £250,000 to investigate and recover lost crypto assets, and if you’re able to find a firm or a litigation funder willing to act purely on a contingency basis, they will likely require a significant cut of the value of your recovery.
