CFPB proposes crypto firms refund users for funds lost to hacks

A proposed CFPB rule could allow crypto users to have protections similar to those of US bank account holders by considering the definition of “funds.”

In a Jan. 10 notice, the CFPB proposed a rule that could allow accounts or wallets using “emerging payment mechanisms” set up for personal use to be subject to similar protections as fiat bank accounts.

The US regulator suggested that the same rights that “guard against error and fraud” under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA) could protect consumers transacting in stablecoins or “any other similarly-situated fungible assets that either operate as a medium of exchange or as a means of paying for goods or services.”
