How Is ‘Capacity’ Determined for an Individual Using a Crypto Wallet?

Determining legal capacity for a crypto wallet user is challenging, as the wallet address provides no personal identifying information. Legally, capacity is assumed unless proven otherwise.

In a dispute, a court would have to rely on off-chain evidence to prove the wallet owner was a minor or lacked mental competence at the time of the transaction. The blockchain itself cannot verify legal capacity.
