Bitget intercepted more than 150 million malicious requests over the past year, the crypto exchange said in a new fraud report built with security firm SlowMist.
Bitget Reports Fraud Surge
The exchange released its Anti-Scam Report 2026 with SlowMist, the third edition of an annual effort it started in 2024. The study tracks how scams adapt as people trade across crypto, stocks, tokenized assets and AI-driven tools.
Bitget Research said users active in two or more asset classes rose from under 1% in mid-2025 to more than 10% by May 2026.
Between July 2025 and June 2026, the platform also flagged more than 13,000 high-risk IP addresses, handled 18,135 protection cases and helped recover $32.3 million. Researchers said many scams no longer hinge on one breach.

AI Deepfake Scams Rise
"Security challenges evolve alongside markets," said Gracy Chen, Bitget's CEO. She said fraud campaigns now blend AI-generated content, social engineering and several channels in one operation. Documented cases include a deepfake scam impersonating Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides and an AI ad campaign that reportedly hit thousands of Swedish investors.
Bitget launched Anti-Scam Month in 2024 and has run it each year with security researchers and industry groups. The June campaign features educational content meant to help users spot emerging threats.
