The U.S. commodities regulator has paid out $16 million this year to whistleblowers who provided information that led to successful enforcement actions, with the majority of tips involving crypto.
In an Oct. 31 statement, Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Commissioner Christy Goldsmith Romero said most of the tips received this year involved crypto, which she said is “an area where fraud and other illegality continues to be pervasive.”
