There was little crypto fraud this year, other than the usual hacks. All the big stories were good old regular fraud by centralized companies that you also see in the fintech space. None of this was enabled by crypto. The problem is that most people don't understand the difference. It was just fraud, not crypto fraud. It's like saying that Theranos is "blood test fraud" and thus we should ban all blood testing. The fact that some founder scammed customers and investors has nothing to do with the market.
