Since 2019, US regulators have collected a total of $31.92 billion in settlements from 25 crypto companies across various lawsuits.
United States regulators have received over $19 billion in lawsuit settlements from crypto companies in 2024 so far, representing almost two-thirds of all settlements to date.
Data in an Oct. 9 report from CoinGecko shows bankrupt crypto exchange FTX and affiliated trading firm Alameda are responsible for most of the funds, with $12.7 billion paid to the Commodity and Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in an August settlement.
Across eight settlements in 2024, regulators have netted 78% more than in 2023, which only saw $10.87 billion paid. However, that is an 8,327% uptick in settlement values compared to 2022.
