What Happens to Your Crypto if You Die?
Cryptocurrency is different from traditional assets. There is no bank, no central registry, and no automatic transfer to your family.
If you die without a plan, your Bitcoin, Ethereum and every other coin can be lost forever.
The real problem
Your crypto only exists as long as someone has access to the private keys or the seed phrase. When you die:
- Your exchange account may be frozen
- Your hardware wallet becomes inaccessible
- Your seed phrase (if only you know it) dies with you
What usually happens
In most cases, families simply never find the wallets. Studies estimate that around 20% of all Bitcoin is already permanently lost because of this.
How to protect your heirs
The solution is to create a secure digital inheritance plan. You need a way to safely pass the access to the people you trust, without exposing your keys while you are alive.
That is exactly what Endure Crypto was built for.
