To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if he will make an estimate of the number of convictions relating to cryptocurrency offences in each of the last five years.
Gareth Bacon
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice
The Ministry of Justice publishes information on the number of offenders found guilty of criminal offences in England and Wales, up to June 2023, available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/criminal-justice-system-statistics-quarterly-june-2023.
Information on whether offenders were convicted for offences relating to cryptocurrency is not held by the Ministry of Justice, as this may appear under various offences, such as fraud or money laundering.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
