Bitget launches anti-scam month after recovering $32m

Crypto exchange Bitget launched Anti-Scam Month 2026, an annual campaign, on June 8.

This year’s theme is the “multi-asset era” as Bitget expands beyond crypto into tokenized stocks, exchange-traded funds, commodities, foreign exchange, and precious metals.

Bitget said that in 2025 it intercepted more than 150 million malicious attack requests, identified over 13,000 high-risk IP addresses, handled 18,135 user protection cases, and helped recover about US$32.3 million linked to security incidents and fraud.

Bitget also said it expanded passkey authentication based on FIDO2 and WebAuthn, broadened multi-factor authentication for high-risk actions.

The company strengthened anti-phishing protections, improved device management, and continued education campaigns and threat intelligence work with blockchain security firms SlowMist and Elliptic.

Bitget said its 2024 and 2025 anti-scam campaigns reached approximately 1.38 billion users globally.

The launch also comes as tokenized stock offerings spread across crypto platforms and as the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets framework emphasizes consumer protection, transparency, and cybersecurity safeguards for crypto firms.
