2025 has seen a dramatic surge in class action settlements. Over 1,700 cases were resolved for a combined $79 billion—nearly twice the settlement volume from 2024. This represents a substantial shift in the litigation landscape, reflecting increased scrutiny and enforcement across industries. The spike signals growing legal risks that market participants should monitor closely, particularly as regulatory frameworks continue to tighten globally. For investors and projects in the crypto space, understanding these broader legal trends becomes increasingly critical when assessing compliance requirements and potential exposure.

$7.9 billion settlement, now the crypto circle is on high alert
Regulations are getting stricter and stricter, and compliance costs will rise again next year
When can we truly decentralize and escape this system...

7.9 billion USD settlement? This is basically saying that compliance risk is about to explode. Things are really dangerous here.
