Practice Overview

Protecting Investors and Consumers in the Digital Asset Marketplace

Wolf Popper’s Cryptocurrency, NFT & Digital Assets Litigation practice is dedicated to protecting investors and consumers harmed by misconduct in the rapidly evolving digital asset ecosystem. As blockchain-based products, including cryptocurrencies, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), coins, and tokens, continue to expand, disputes involving these assets have grown increasingly complex. Our attorneys have active experience litigating digital asset–related matters, including cases involving cryptocurrency, NFTs, meme coins, and unregistered digital asset securities. As this area continues to evolve, our work on a range of digital asset disputes gives us practical insight into the unique issues that arise in these cases. We also draw on the firm’s longstanding background in securities litigation, consumer litigation, and commercial litigation to address claims involving deceptive conduct, false advertising, or improper practices in the digital asset space. This combined experience enables us to navigate complex digital asset litigation effectively and advocate for our clients in a rapidly developing field.

We represent both individual consumers and sophisticated investors who have suffered losses due to fraudulent schemes, misleading marketing, unlawful token launches, platform failures, and abusive practices carried out by issuers, promoters, exchanges, and other market participants.

Key Issues We Handle

Our Digital Assets Litigation practice includes matters involving:

• Unregistered digital asset securities, including cryptocurrencies, NFTs, coins, and tokens sold in violation of federal securities laws
• Fraud and deceptive practices, including rug pulls, pump-and-dump schemes, Ponzi schemes, and other manipulative activities
• Misrepresentations or omissions made by issuers, promoters, platforms, exchanges, or influencers
• Consumer fraud associated with token or NFT launches, mint pricing, promised “utility,” or hidden terms, often overlapping with consumer litigation
• Market manipulation affecting token pricing, liquidity, or valuation
• Platform-related misconduct, including account freezes, undisclosed restrictions, security breaches, or misuse of customer assets
• Losses tied to influencer- or celebrity-promoted digital assets and deceptive endorsement practices

Certain disputes involving platform operations, contractual terms, or multi-party commercial relationships may also intersect with commercial litigation & arbitration.

Why Digital Assets Litigation Matters 

The digital asset marketplace sits at the intersection of finance, technology, and emerging regulation. Many digital assets launch at high valuations, only to collapse in value due to undisclosed risks, mismanagement, or fraudulent conduct by creators, sellers, or promoters. In instances where digital assets qualify as unregistered securities, investors may have rescission rights and remedies under federal securities laws.

Wolf Popper’s experience pursuing investment-related, consumer-focused, and complex commercial claims positions the firm to hold digital asset issuers, promoters, platforms, and related actors accountable and seek meaningful recovery for affected investors and consumers.

Our Approach

We conduct comprehensive reviews of token offerings, marketing communications, exchange or platform policies, and blockchain transaction data to evaluate potential wrongdoing and determine the most strategic litigation pathway. Our approach includes:

• Evaluating whether a cryptocurrency, token, or NFT constitutes an unregistered security
• Investigating issuer, promoter, and platform representations, disclosures, and conduct
• Coordinating with technical and financial experts for blockchain, pricing, and market analysis
• Pursuing class action or individual litigation, depending on the scope and nature of the harm

Our objective is to pursue relief for clients while contributing to greater accountability, transparency, and integrity across the digital asset marketplace.

In addition to litigation, Wolf Popper advises investors, consumers, and institutions on emerging digital asset risks and potential claims. We monitor regulatory developments, enforcement actions, and industry trends to help clients identify early signs of misconduct or exposure.
