Abstract
In the past three years, virtual currency civil cases were hardly supported by the court, and most of them ended the request of the plaintiff.However, although the virtual currency civil contracts are invalid and do not affect the returned property after it is ineffective, many people have misunderstandings about this, including many cases handling units.However, compared to “whether virtual currency is protected by the court”, it seems more difficult to be implemented by the court as a property.The key point is:First, virtual currencies are not like bank account funds, which can be seized and frozen by the court; second, it is difficult for virtual currency to be evaluated by the court as a price and acknowledge its value.
