Henry Chambers, Managing Director and Co-Lead of A&M Disputes and Investigations practice in Asia, recently joined Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) The Close to discuss the critical role of digital asset tracing in today's financial landscape. 

Key Takeaways

1. When is digital tracing needed? It plays a critical role in fraud detection, dispute resolution, as well as bankruptcy and insolvency cases.
2. Lost digital assets not only harm the ecosystem but also the broader market, as they could be exploited for illicit activities. Roughly 20% of Bitcoins are lost and unrecoverable, and this figure is likely to rise.
3. What’s changing the game? 1) AI advancements enable more efficient tracing and data analysis; 2) Tighter global regulations help reduce bad actors in this space, but until then, expertise in blockchain forensics and asset tracing remains crucial to help recover digital assets.
