Digital Asset Prosecution involves legal actions taken by governmental authorities against individuals or entities for criminal activities involving cryptocurrencies or other digital assets. These cases frequently address fraud, money laundering, sanctions evasion, or unregistered securities offerings. Prosecutors employ specialized forensic tools to trace transactions on public ledgers. Such legal efforts aim to uphold financial regulations and combat illicit activities within the digital asset domain.
