24 billions of which turnover?

"Since the start of 2021, more than 46,000 people have reported losing over $1 billion in crypto to scams – that’s about one out of every four dollars reported lost, more than any other payment method."

Not to mention "Because of federal law & issuer card network terms and policies, consumers are shielded from the cost of unauthorized purchases made with their cards."

That's not the case with crypto currencies
