Wealthy crypto investors and entrepreneurs are increasingly seeking offshore trusts to preserve assets across generations and potentially reduce inheritance-tax exposure, but trustees remain cautious about accepting digital assets. Concerns include price volatility, custody and private-key risks, source-of-funds verification, anti-money-laundering duties and potential fiduciary disputes. UK taxpayers sold £13.8 billion of crypto in the year to April 2025, with nearly 250 people reporting capital gains above £1 million. Separate figures cited in earlier coverage said 17,600 taxpayers reported £1.38 billion in taxable crypto gains for 2024-25, including 240 investors whose gains above £1 million totaled £717 million. Specialist screening tools can trace transactions and trading histories, although trustees must still decide whether holding crypto is consistent with preserving wealth for current and future beneficiaries. The collapse of FTX and the risk of losing access to self-custodied wallets have reinforced those concerns.
