TechFlow news, on June 10, Bitget jointly released the "2025 Global Cryptocurrency Anti-Fraud Trends Report" with SlowMist and Elliptic, systematically outlining common fraud tactics in the crypto industry from 2024 to early 2025. The report shows that global losses due to crypto fraud reached as high as $4.6 billion in 2024, highlighting three particularly prominent risks: first, deepfake impersonation, using synthetic videos to lure users into fake investments; second, social engineering fraud, including Trojan links disguised as job offers, phishing bots, and fraudulent staking schemes; third, new types of Ponzi schemes, often wrapped in concepts such as DeFi, NFTs, or GameFi to operate fund pools.
As AI-generated fake videos, deceptive recruitment processes, and tokenized Ponzi schemes continue eroding user trust, the next phase of cryptocurrency security requires not only technical defenses but also industry-wide collaborative protection. Bitget, together with SlowMist and Elliptic, is building an ecosystem-spanning defense system through threat intelligence sharing, automated fund flow tracking, and cross-platform risk tagging. The report also details several anti-fraud initiatives currently implemented by Bitget, including AI red team exercises, compliance data collaboration mechanisms, and user security education driven by its Anti-Fraud Center, aiming to advance a more resilient cryptocurrency security framework.
