The CFTC has launched a new initiative to combat cryptocurrency-related scams, specifically targeting 'pig butchering' schemes.
The CFTC's Office of Customer Outreach and Education is collaborating with various organizations to develop materials for identifying pig butchering scams.
The initiative includes producing a fact sheet and investor alert in collaboration with the SEC's Office of Investor Education and Advocacy.
By increasing public awareness, the CFTC aims to prevent or reduce the occurrence of these fraudulent schemes.
