Cryptocurrencies
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent estimate she has made of the monetary value of crypto-currency (a) seized and (b) non-seized assets currently held by HM Treasury.
Answered by Dame Angela Eagle
The Government does not currently publish the amount of cryptocurrency restrained or recovered under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002.
The Home office is reviewing plans to publish new statistics on Crypto assets as part of future annual statistics bulletins on asset recovery in response to the new powers that came into effect in April 2024.
