The Financial Times has reported that crypto billionaires seeking offshore trusts were refused by traditional trust firms, but the underlying report has not been independently verified. The available material names no individuals, firms, advisers or jurisdictions, and does not establish how many refusals occurred, whether they were isolated or widespread, or whether applicants obtained trusts elsewhere. It also does not show that offshore trusts are prohibited for crypto holders, that the proposed trusts would hold cryptocurrency rather than fiat proceeds, or that any assets were frozen or lost. UK compliance guidance provides the only established context: HM Revenue & Customs requires trust or company service providers within its scope to register for money-laundering supervision, conduct customer due diligence, identify beneficial owners and retain relevant records. The next step is verification of the original FT report and independent confirmation.
