The complaint [1] seeks to certify precisely this class.
"Plaintiffs and members of the Class have suffered actual damages and injury in fact due to artificial prices to which they would not have been subject but for the unlawful conduct of the Defendants as alleged herein" (¶ 260). This is par for the course when it comes to "part-fraud, part-pump-and-dump, and part-money laundering" (¶ 2) schemes.
Note that the defendants are various, from Tether to its affiliates, including Bitfinex.
