How do I report a crypto crime in the United States?

Report crypto crimes to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), or the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for securities-related fraud. Document all transaction details, including wallet addresses and messages, to support your case. Local law enforcement or state-level cybercrime units can also assist.

Where can I report crypto scams in the European Union?
