Published

on

While consumer protection cases have been on an overall decline over most of the past decade, there was an increase in general consumer protection cases, class action cases, TCPA cases, and data breach cases in 2023

MENLO PARK, Calif., July 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Lex Machina, a LexisNexis company, today releases its 2024 Consumer Protection Litigation Report. The report examines consumer protection litigation trends in federal district and appellate courts. Focusing on the three-year period from 2021 to 2023, it surveys emerging trends in case filings, venues, judges, law firms, attorneys, parties, timing metrics, case resolutions, findings, and damages. The report often focuses on different sets of data, e.g., filtering cases in order to provide analytics on general consumer protection cases, class action cases, FCRA cases, FDCPA cases, TCPA cases, data breach cases, and consumer protection appellate cases.

“Consumer protection litigation is a complex and multi-faceted area of law that involves a broad spectrum of possible underlying claims,” said Laura Hopkins, Lex Machina’s consumer protection legal data expert and editor of the report. “In our report, we leverage Lex Machina’s diverse and nuanced filters to slice the data and analytics in order to gain crucial data-driven insights into the different subsets of consumer protection cases that matter most to practitioners.”

Findings from the report include:

In 2023, 14,515 consumer protection cases were filed in federal district courts.In the three-year period from 2021 to 2023, the highest number of consumer protection cases was filed in the Central District of California, while Judge Burroughs from the District of Massachusetts was the most active judge for consumer protection cases.Individual plaintiffs dominated the lists of the most active plaintiffs, the vast majority filing cases that involved claims under the TCPA.Credit reporting companies comprised the bulk of the most active defendants, defending in cases that primarily involved claims under the FCRA.In the three-year period from 2021 to 2023, Atlas Consumer Law was the most active law firm representing plaintiffs in consumer protection cases, while Jones Day represented defendants in the highest number of consumer protection cases.For consumer protection cases that were appealed to a federal appellate court and terminated from 2021 to 2023 with a decision on the merits of the appeal, 30% were ultimately reversed.$13 billion in total damages were awarded as Approved Class Action Settlements from 2021 to 2023.

Lex Machina’s reports and software enable practitioners to devise data-driven litigation strategies. The metrics in this report can help readers decide who to pursue as clients, whether to file a particular motion, or when to settle (and for how much). This research supplements traditional legal research and anecdotal data for a competitive edge in court.

BingX Introduces ALTCOIN Index Futures Trading: One Click, Countless Trends

Published

on

By

VILNIUS, Lithuania, Dec. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — BingX, a global leading cryptocurrency exchange, is excited to announce the launch of ALTCOIN Index, the first futures trading pair involving top altcoins. This innovative trading product offers users a one-click solution to efficiently track and trade major cryptocurrency trends with ease.

Traditionally used in stock markets, a futures index is a financial derivative that tracks the performance of a group of assets, such as stocks of commodities. These instruments were first introduced to simplify trading by allowing investors to speculate on or hedge against the collective movements of selected market sectors. Instead of purchasing individual stocks, traders are able to access broad market exposure in a single transaction, saving time and reducing costs.

In the cryptocurrency market, this new ALTCOIN/USDT futures trading pair works similarly by bundling the performance of the top mainstream cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, excluding Bitcoin (BTC) and stablecoins. The current index includes ETH, XRP, SOL, BNB, DOGE, ADA, TRX, AVAX, and SHIB. This approach is more efficient compared to buying individual cryptocurrencies or ETFs as this allows for direct speculation using tiered leverage options without the need to manage multiple positions, effectively diversifying trading risks associated with individual asset volatility.

Vivien Lin, Chief Product Officer of BingX, commented on the new offering: “By aggregating a range of leading cryptocurrencies into a single trading instrument, we’re giving users a practical and efficient way to better capture market trends. This index trading pair should help our less experienced users with their trading goals more easily, particularly when they are unsure which asset to trade and just want to trade major altcoins in general with leverage.”

BingX users can take advantage of tiered leverage options and competitive rates consistent with the platform’s perpetual futures terms, simplifying open order management and enhancing trading efficiency. The platform also ensures that the index composition remains current, with regular quarterly adjustments and temporary updates in response to market conditions.

About BingX
Founded in 2018, BingX is a leading crypto exchange, serving over 10 million users worldwide. BingX offers diversified products and services, including spot, derivatives, copy trading, and asset management – all designed for the evolving needs of users, from beginners to professionals. BingX is committed to providing a trustworthy platform that empowers users with innovative tools and features to elevate their trading proficiency. In 2024, BingX proudly became the official crypto exchange partner of Chelsea Football Club, marking an exciting debut in the world of sports.
