Digital currency is indeed the most debatable trending to continue operating across the world. Many companies are trying to shift or at least, launch a pilot cryptocurrency payment project.

Despite absolute recognition of BTC/ETH/DOGE/LTC, many new cryptos are entering the market. And the total market cap already values over $2Tn with consistent growth.

Of course, the total number of scams should count much higher without international borders. Leading countries to prefer cryptos are reportedly suffering from various scams.

Two Turkish crypto platforms already made headlines over possible scam cases in April 2021. Multiple arrests following its central banishment affected the major assets’ value.

Emma Fletcher, an FTC program analyst, commented on the published data. She blamed the scammer to enter the scene with minimal obstruction. Cryptocurrency still remains a complex or unknown territory for many people – she implied.

However, analysts are emphasizing the gradual setup of regulations for cryptocurrency platforms.

Lots of crypto-critics warned about its minimal regulations with no centralized control. And scammers seem to use the blank crypto volatility for their gains.
