Bitget Launches Anti-Scam Month 2026 With Warning On AI-Powered Crypto Frauds

Bitget exchange has released its Anti-Scam Report 2026. The study reveals the evolution of online scams as investors switch their investments between various financial products. For context, SlowMist, a blockchain security firm, prepared “The Evolution of Fraud in the Multi-Asset Era” report. This represents the third year of Bitget’s Annual Anti-Scam Month campaign.

Bitget Spotlights Major Crypto Frauds In Anti-Scam Month Campaign

Investors’ attitude has undergone a dramatic change over the last year, the report notes. There are now more users that trade across cryptocurrencies, tokenized assets, stocks, CFDs, digital wallets and even AI-powered platforms.

As of May 2026, less than 1% of Bitget users were active on two or more asset classes. This is much lower than the figure that rose to more than 10% by mid-2025, according to Bitget Research.

However, scammers have caught on to this trend, Bitget researchers say. Today’s fraud campaigns are a mix of AI-generated content, social engineering, and several communication channels, they added. Criminals are not always successful at the first attempt, and will often lead a victim through multiple stages to obtain the victim’s money.

The crypto scam victims are usually approached via social media or messaging apps, the report said. Moreover, they can then be redirected to fake investment firms, phishing sites or fraudulent wallet transactions. Each one of the steps is working to establish trust prior to the theft.

The Exchange Launches Safeguard Measures

In Bitget’s Anti-Scam Month campaign, it also presented the information from its security systems. Over the period July 2025 to June 2026, the platform blocked (or prevented) over 150 million malicious requests. It was able to recognize more than 13,000 high-risk IP addresses. It also responded to 18,135 cases of user protection, and assisted in recovering $32.3 million associated with fraud and other security issues.

“Security challenges evolve alongside markets. As more users participate across crypto, stocks, tokenized assets and AI-powered products, fraud campaigns are becoming sophisticated in how they build trust and influence decision-making. Understanding those risks is an important step toward protecting users and strengthening confidence across the broader ecosystem,” remarked Gracy Chen, the CEO of Bitget.

The report also takes a look at some of the new scam methods. These include AI-generated investment personas, deep fake videos, voice cloning attacks, fake investment communities, wallet draining attacks, malicious smart contract attacks and phishing attacks.

It also examines recent incidents with a deepfake of Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides. Further, Bitget studied a fake investment scheme using Artificial Intelligence targeting investors from Sweden. In addition, they exposed the Truman Show fake community and the Rublevka Team wallet draining operation discovered in early 2026.
