DSA recently released a report on CFPB cryptocurrency related consumer complaints. Our analysis looked at cryptocurrency complaints on a product level and at firms focused on cryptocurrency.
What did we learn from CFPB Cryptocurrency Complaints?
- First, the term Virtual currency is potentially confusing, overly broad, or unclear to consumers who file complaints with the CFPB.
- Next, traditional financial institutions and payment companies are often named in cryptocurrency-related complaints, even if they don’t offer crypto products.
- Third, there are differences amongst crypto-focused companies on which products and issues customers complain.
