International Reach
Cryptocurrency fraud spans continents, impacting investors everywhere. The United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada document the greatest case volumes, although significant underreporting persists globally.
Financial authorities such as the SEC, FCA, ASIC, and similar bodies have released countless alerts about deceptive platforms. Yet despite these measures, fraudulent operations launch daily, frequently based in regions with minimal regulatory enforcement.
