How we can help
Five ways we work with people and institutions who have experienced theft, fraud, or the loss of digital assets.
Cryptocurrency Theft
Investigating unauthorized transfers, tracing the movement of stolen assets, and pursuing recovery where a viable path exists.
Crypto Scams and Fraud
Investigating investment scams, impersonation schemes, and fraudulent platforms, and identifying recovery paths where funds remain reachable.
Lost Wallets and Digital Assets
Reviewing lost wallets, old devices, and incomplete records to determine what can be verified.
Asset Tracing
Following cryptocurrency across wallets and services to develop investigative leads and pursue recovery where funds can be reached.
Blockchain Investigations
Using blockchain records and investigative methods to reconstruct how digital assets moved.
The people and institutions we work with
Cases reach us from many directions. Here is where we typically fit in.
People who have had cryptocurrency stolen, scammed, or lost, and need someone to explain what happened in plain terms.
Lawyers who need documented blockchain evidence and a defensible transaction trail to support a client's case.
Companies investigating unauthorized transfers, internal fund diversion, or disputes involving digital asset holdings.
Individuals who need to verify digital asset holdings and history for probate or estate settlement purposes.
Claims teams evaluating a digital asset loss who need independent, evidence based analysis of what occurred.
Referral partners who need blockchain specific analysis to support a broader investigation already underway.
Investigate. Trace. Identify. Recover.
Investigation and recovery are one continuous process, not two separate services.
Investigate
We examine the transaction record surrounding the incident and establish exactly what happened.
Trace
We follow the movement of funds across wallets, services, and networks as far as the record allows.
Identify
We identify wallets, services, and points where funds may be reachable through legal or exchange channels.
Pursue Recovery
Where a viable path exists, we work through the appropriate channels to pursue the return of recoverable funds.

Trust, built on transparency
Clear methodology
A documented process applied consistently, from intake through recovery.
Faster investigations
A dedicated analyst team and an established methodology mean most cases move from intake to findings in weeks, not months.
A dedicated case team
You work with a named case manager and analyst throughout, not a rotating queue.
Independent analysis
We are retained directly by clients and their counsel, never by exchanges or opposing parties.
What it is like to work with us
“The investigation gave us a clear understanding of where the assets had moved, and Coin Trace stayed with the matter through the exchange process until part of the funds were actually returned.”
