Cryptocurrency alert
The Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance Securities Division is alerting Tennessee consumers to be wary of advertising related to the transfer of funds from Individual Retirement Accounts into what have been advertised as “Cryptocurrency IRAs endorsed by the IRS.” While state regulators are not recommending nor criticizing the use of IRA funds to purchase cryptocurrencies, the Department is reminding Tennesseans to be cautious when investing in cryptocurrencies, especially if advertised as “IRS approved” or “IRA approved.” These advertisements or solicitations, often for highly speculative or non-traditional types of investments, mislead by falsely claiming that the IRS has approved a particular investment. Tennessee is issuing this alert as part of the North American Securities Administrators Association’s (NASAA) crackdown on fraudulent cryptocurrency activities.
