Crypto class actions on pace to nearly double in 2025
Crypto-related securities class-action lawsuits are already near their total for the whole of 2024, Cornerstone Research says.
The number of investor-led class-action lawsuits in the US relating to crypto and artificial intelligence is already nearing the total filed in all of 2024.
Cornerstone said in a report on Wednesday that AI and crypto were the top trends in complaints in the first half of 2025, with 12 AI-related filings and six crypto-related filings, which are both just shy of the total number of similar complaints filed across the whole of last year.
This is despite the total number of securities class actions filed by shareholders claiming losses remaining flat in the first half of 2025, with 114 new lawsuits compared to 115 filed in the last half of 2024.
