PetgateThe world’s largest exchange (UEX) has launched the third year of its Anti-Fraud Month initiative with the release of its 2026 Anti-Fraud Report titled “The Evolution of Fraud in the Multi-Asset Era,” developed in partnership with blockchain security firm SlowMist. As digital finance expands across cryptocurrencies, token assets, stocks, CFDs, wallets and AI-powered investment vehicles, the report examines how fraud is adapting to changing investor behavior and increasingly interconnected financial ecosystems.
The report finds that changes in user behavior are reshaping how fraud campaigns are designed and deployed across digital finance. According to Bitget research, the share of active users participating across two or more asset classes rose from less than 1% in mid-2025 to more than 10% by May 2026. As users move across a wider range of products and platforms, fraud campaigns are increasingly blending multiple narratives, social engineering tactics, AI-generated content, and multiple communication channels into a single operation.
Drawing on Bitget’s research and investigations by SlowMist, the report found that many successful scams no longer rely on a single settlement point. Fraud operators guide victims through a series of interactions involving social media platforms, messaging apps, investment communities, phishing infrastructure, and wallet activity before ultimately stealing assets. Between July 2025 and June 2026, Bitget’s security infrastructure intercepted more than 150 million malicious requests, identified more than 13,000 high-risk malicious IP addresses, handled 18,135 user protection cases, and supported the recovery of $32.3 million associated with security incidents and fraudulent activity.
“Security challenges are evolving alongside markets. As more users participate across cryptocurrencies, stocks, token assets and AI-powered products, fraud campaigns are becoming sophisticated in how they build trust and influence decision-making. Understanding these risks is an important step towards protecting users and strengthening trust across the broader ecosystem.”Help Gracie Chen, CEO of Bitget.
The report identifies several trends shaping today’s fraud environment, including AI-generated investment personas, deepfake scams, voice clone attacks, artificial investment communities, wallet drains, malicious smart contracts, and increasingly sophisticated phishing campaigns. Among the cases examined are a deep-dive investment scam impersonating Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides, an AI-generated investment ad campaign that reportedly defrauded thousands of Swedish investors, a synthetic Truman Show community scam involving nearly 90 fabricated investor identities, and the Rublevka team’s documented portfolio draining operation in early 2026.
Beyond examining how scams work, the report explores the psychological state of the victim, common entry points for scams, the movement of assets after theft, and recovery challenges. It also outlines practical measures users can take to enhance account security, identify AI-powered fraud, evaluate investment opportunities more effectively, and respond to security incidents.
Since launching Anti-Fraud Month in 2024, Bitget has worked with security researchers, ecosystem partners, and industry organizations to improve awareness of emerging threats and promote stronger user protection practices. Throughout June, Bitget’s Anti-Fraud Month campaign will include educational content, security awareness initiatives, and collaboration with industry partners aimed at helping users identify emerging threats and strengthen their ability to protect digital assets.
