Overview
Since Bitcoin’s creation in 2009, innovations in cryptocurrency technology, issuance, and exchange have resulted in the emergence of many different and distinctive ecosystems of global peer-to-peer monetary networks. With rapid innovation and limited oversight, however, there has emerged the potential for fraud, manipulation, and other harmful conduct, which in turn has led to a number of legal and enforcement actions brought by both governmental authorities and private claimants.
