Crypto ponzi scheme list, explained for beginners

Last reviewed:

A crypto Ponzi scheme is a fraud that pays earlier investors with money from newer investors, not from real profits. It often promises high, steady returns and rewards people for recruiting others. When new money slows down, the scheme collapses and most people lose everything. Several large crypto Ponzi schemes have been shut down by U.S. regulators.
