Every Minute Costs You.
Act Now.
Crypto theft response that starts within 90 minutes. We triage your case, begin live on-chain monitoring, file emergency exchange freeze requests, and build forensic evidence — before scammers move funds further.
If your crypto was just stolen, act within 24–72 hours — that's the window to freeze funds before cash-out. BlockTrace's emergency team triages within 90 minutes, begins live blockchain monitoring immediately, traces the moving funds, and files emergency freeze requests with exchanges to stop withdrawals.
The Closing Window of Recovery
Stolen crypto moves fast — often through exchanges and out to cash within hours. The earlier you act, the higher your chances of a freeze or trace succeeding.

We handle every type of crypto emergency. Regardless of your situation, our response protocol is tailored to what happened and what can still be done.
My Wallet Was Just Drained
Malicious approval, phishing transaction, seed phrase compromise, or clipboard hijacker — your funds are gone and you don't know where. We begin tracing immediately and map the attacker's wallet cluster.
I Just Sent Funds to a Scammer
Investment platform, fake trading app, romance scam, or pig butchering — you've just made a transfer and suspect something is wrong. We can begin monitoring in real time and potentially catch funds before they cash out.
Corporate Wallet / Treasury Compromised
Your company's multi-sig, treasury wallet, or exchange account has been accessed. We handle high-value corporate cases with priority resourcing, direct exchange liaison, and attorney coordination.
Fake Platform Still Holding My Funds
Your funds show a "balance" on a fraudulent platform but withdrawals are blocked or taxed. We investigate the platform's wallet infrastructure, map connected addresses, and build the evidence for legal action.
Exchange Account Hacked
Your centralized exchange account was compromised and funds withdrawn without your consent. We work with exchange security teams directly and trace where the withdrawn funds went on-chain.
It Happened Weeks or Months Ago
You've been hesitating or didn't know where to turn. The blockchain record is permanent — we can still trace transactions from months ago and build a complete forensic case for legal proceedings.

Frequently Asked Emergency Questions
What should I do immediately after my crypto is stolen?
Do not send any more funds to anyone claiming they can help recover your crypto — this is a very common second scam. Immediately collect your transaction hash(es), the wallet address you sent to, and all communications with the scammer. Take screenshots of everything. Contact us right away — speed is critical, as exchange freeze windows close within hours.
How quickly can you really start tracing stolen crypto?
We begin triage within 90 minutes of your report — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. For active cases where funds have just moved, live on-chain monitoring is activated immediately. Exchange freeze requests can be submitted within 2–4 hours of case intake if we identify an exchange deposit endpoint.
Can you freeze funds at an exchange without a court order?
Yes, in many cases. Major exchanges have voluntary compliance procedures for fraud reports. When we submit a documented forensic evidence package, exchanges like Binance, Kraken, and Coinbase will often issue a provisional hold pending a formal legal order. This critical window is what emergency response is designed to capture — your attorney then has time to file for a court-backed freeze via our legal support team.
Is it too late to report if it happened weeks ago?
No — it is never too late to investigate. While the fastest recoveries happen within 24–72 hours, we have traced cases months old and still produced forensic evidence for legal action. The blockchain record is permanent. Even old transactions can be traced, wallet clusters built, exchange accounts identified, and court-ready evidence produced for civil or criminal proceedings.
What information do I need to provide to start?
Minimum: the wallet address you sent funds to and/or the transaction hash. More is better — platform names, communications with the scammer, exchange receipts, dates, amounts, and screenshots. Even if you only have one piece of information, contact us and we can begin an initial assessment immediately.
Do you charge upfront for emergency response?
We offer an initial consultation and triage assessment. Emergency investigation fees are discussed transparently after we understand your case — we never pressure or commit you before explaining costs. We do not work on pure contingency, as this would compromise the integrity of our forensic methodology, but we offer structured payment options for urgent cases.
How to recover stolen cryptocurrency as quickly as possible?
To recover stolen cryptocurrency quickly, you need to act within 72 hours. The steps are: (1) Do not send any more funds — scammers often request "fees" to release frozen funds. (2) Collect every transaction hash, wallet address, and screenshot you have. (3) Contact a blockchain forensics service immediately — we begin live monitoring within 90 minutes. (4) We identify the exchange holding your stolen cryptocurrency and file an emergency freeze request. (5) Your attorney files for a court-backed freezing order using our forensic evidence. Speed is everything: stolen cryptocurrency recovery rates drop significantly after the first 72 hours as funds are cashed out.
