Cryptocurrency Lawsuits Have Tripled Since 2017

Cryptocurrency lawsuits increased threefold in the first two quarters of 2018 compared to the whole of last year.

This is according to a report prepared by Lex Machina, a legal analytics firm. Last year, the number of cases mentioning bitcoin, cryptocurrency or blockchain amounted to just 15 ,but in the first and the second quarters of this year, the figure has risen to 45. If the current trend continues, this means that the increase will likely be more than sixfold by the end of the year.
