The number of collective appeals led by investors in the United States concerning crypto and artificial intelligence is already approaching the total deposited in 2024.
Cornerstone said in a report on Wednesday that AI and crypto were the main complaints in the first half of 2025, with 12 deposits linked to AI and six deposits linked to the crypto, which are both a little shy of the total number of similar complaints filed throughout last year.
This despite the total number of collective appeals in securities deposited by shareholders claiming that the remaining losses remain flat in the first half of 2025, with 114 new prosecution against 115 deposited in the last semester of 2024.

Two of the files were complaints against what Cornerstone called a “company adjacent to cryptocurrency”, such as those who sell mining platforms, trying to enter crypto or in partnership with cryptography companies.
Half of the complaints linked to the crypto filed so far this year have been from the Burwick Law law firm, two notable proceedings being his complaint against Pump.fun and those who allegedly behind the controversial memecoin balance.
The founder of Burwick Law, Max Burwick, told Cintelegraph that civil actions, in particular those related to crypto, often provide a vital path to responsibility when other remedies have not yet caught up. “
