- Surge in crypto class actions led by Burwick Law.
- Six lawsuits filed by mid-2025 targeting major platforms.
- Significant market and financial ramifications on DeFi and memecoins.
Crypto class-action lawsuits are on track to almost double in 2025, with six suits filed by mid-year targeting firms like Pump.fun and the LIBRA memecoin.
This surge highlights increasing legal scrutiny in the crypto sector, potentially affecting market dynamics and investor sentiment amid unresolved litigation issues.
Investor-led class-action lawsuits in the crypto industry have nearly doubled in 2025. Six cases have been filed by mid-year, targeting crypto issuers and adjacent businesses such as Pump.fun and the LIBRA memecoin. Burwick Law emerges as a dominant player, leading half of the filed cases. The firm is recognized for its aggressive stance on crypto-related suits, targeting entities like DeFi platform Pump.fun and the LIBRA project.
The financial community witnesses notable shifts as lawsuits focus on platforms backed by substantial venture capital. Absence of official statements from targeted entities adds to market uncertainty and impacts DeFi involvement. Lawsuits potentially affect platforms built on Ethereum, raising risks of asset freezes and development pauses. The broader altcoin market might experience liquidity outflows, contributing to shifts in protocol participation.

Past legal surges, such as the Terra/LUNA collapse, resulted in sharp governance token corrections, with potential similar trends in 2025. Continued filing of class actions could impact liquidity and asset values.
