Millennial marriages are hitting a rough patch, and crypto's making the split messier than ever.

Think about it: couples who rode the 2017 bull run together are now facing divorce courts with wallets full of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and a dozen altcoins nobody can properly value. Some bought in when BTC was $3k. Others aped into NFTs at the peak. Now lawyers are scratching their heads trying to split assets that didn't exist in traditional divorce law.

The timing's brutal. Many millennial marriages from the mid-2010s are hitting the 7-10 year mark—right when crypto portfolios either mooned or crashed. One spouse might've hodled through the bear market while the other panic-sold. Whose loss? Whose gain? Courts are still figuring this out.

Hardware wallets hidden in closets. Seed phrases only one person knows. DeFi yields that fluctuate hourly. This isn't your parents' divorce where you just split the house and the 401k. We're entering uncharted territory where "I forgot my password" might actually be a legal defense strategy.

The real kicker? Some of these marriages started because of crypto wealth in the first place. Now that same volatility is tearing them apart.
