"Assets Dormant for Three Years" Will Be Confiscated? The Truth About California's New Bill SB 822 Explained

A new California law, SB 822, which takes effect in 2026, has caused concern in the crypto community over fears that inactive exchange accounts could be "confiscated." However, this is a misunderstanding. The law extends the state’s existing Unclaimed Property Law (UPL) to digital assets held on centralized exchanges. Key points: - Assets are considered "unclaimed" only if there has no owner activity for three years AND the exchange is unable to contact the owner. - "Owner activity" is broadly defined and includes logging in, trading, or even just responding to an email, which resets the three-year timer. - Exchanges must send a prominent warning notice 6-12 months before reporting assets to the state. A simple response stops the process. - Crucially, transferred assets are NOT immediately liquidated. The state must hold the original crypto for 18-20 months, allowing owners to reclaim their exact tokens. Only after that may assets be sold for cash. - The law only applies to assets held on centralized exchanges (the "holder"). Self-custodied wallets, like cold wallets or DeFi LP tokens, are completely exempt. - Owners can always claim their property from the state, even years later, though they may receive cash instead of crypto if it was already sold. The article advises users to perform a simple activity (e.g., logging in) annually to keep accounts active or move large holdings to self-custody to avoid the law entirely. It concludes that SB 822, while intrusive, provides a legal safety net that protects user assets from being lost or misappropriated by failed exchanges.
