> ”Well how would you know who to return it to? It's crypto, … which doesn't allow you to track simple things like transaction history”

That’s not actually correct. The blockchain contains a permanent, immutable, and public record of every transaction.

Obviously you also need a way to connect a given wallet ID (address) back to it’s owner, but if transactions originated from regulated platforms like Binance then they will have those records thanks to KYC/AML rules.

If the transaction originated from a private wallet, a fraud victim could simply submit proof of their wallet ID as part of their claim.
