UK authorities have frozen £6 million ($7.7 million) in crypto since gaining new enforcement power in April 2024.
A Coinbase wallet linked to possible tax evasion had £1.5 million frozen.
Experts predict a surge in crypto freezes as the UK enforces stricter laws to combat financial crimes.
The new powers allow law enforcement to freeze suspicious cryptocurrency wallets for up to three years, preventing criminal operations and enabling asset recovery.
