Fee transparency & drip pricing
Fee transparency is a major enforcement focus. "Drip pricing" — displaying a low Bitcoin price on screen, then adding a separate undisclosed fee (often 15–25%) at confirmation — is alleged in multiple lawsuits. Massachusetts specifically alleges Bitcoin Depot charged fees in 7,000+ transactions exceeding its own posted 23% cap.
