Digital-asset fraud recovery under US federal law
XELTRUS structures civil recovery for victims of cryptocurrency theft, token-offering fraud, and NFT misappropriation under the United States federal civil-recovery framework, with integrated counsel coordination and proprietary on-chain forensic methodology.
Recovery outcomes — including, in qualifying matters, statutory enhancement features — depend on facts and applicable thresholds. The majority of digital-asset losses do not qualify; viability is assessed in writing before engagement.

Learn moreFederal civil-recovery can deliver outcomes that, in a narrow set of matters meeting specific statutory thresholds, may include statutory recovery-enhancement features. The majority of digital-asset losses do not qualify
The federal civil-recovery framework available under US law includes statutory provisions that, in qualifying matters, can result in recoveries greater than the direct loss in qualifying matters — through enhancement multipliers, attorney-fee shifting, and post-judgment enforcement mechanisms under federal jurisdiction. Eligibility is fact-specific and assessed at intake before any engagement. The specific mechanisms applicable to a given case are discussed directly with the prospective client.
