Bitget Launches Anti-Scam Month 2026, Reports $32.3M In User Fund Recoveries

Cryptocurrency exchange Bitget has launched Anti-Scam Month 2026 under the theme “More Assets, Stronger Shield. Stay Safe in the Multi-Asset Era.” The annual initiative is aimed at supporting users in navigating an increasingly complex security environment as digital asset platforms expand beyond crypto into broader multi-asset ecosystems.

The campaign is accompanied by the publication of key security and fraud prevention metrics from 2025. Over the course of the year, Bitget reported that it intercepted more than 150 million malicious attack requests, identified over 13,000 high-risk malicious IP addresses, and managed 18,135 user protection cases. The company also stated that approximately $32.3 million linked to security incidents and fraudulent activity was recovered for affected users.

“The industry is entering a multi-asset era where users can access a wider range of products and markets through a single platform. As that access expands, security responsibilities increase too,” said Hon Ng, Chief Legal Officer at Bitget in a written statement. “Protecting users requires continuous risk monitoring, rapid response mechanisms, security education, and close cooperation across the industry. Anti-Scam Month reflects the importance of building those protections alongside product innovation,” he added. 

Strengthening Platform Security Amid Expanding Multi-Asset Ecosystem Risks

Throughout 2025, Bitget expanded its security infrastructure across areas including account protection, asset custody, fraud prevention, and platform risk management. Enhancements included broader adoption of Passkey authentication based on FIDO2 and WebAuthn standards, improved multi-factor authentication for high-risk actions, strengthened anti-phishing systems, and upgraded device management tools enabling real-time oversight of account access.

The exchange also increased its real-time threat detection capabilities and web security systems during the year. Its infrastructure recorded more than 2.8 billion blocked events through customized protection rules and mitigated over 1.5 billion DDoS-related attempts. Machine learning-based behavioral monitoring was further integrated to detect suspicious activity and emerging threats across multiple layers of the platform.

User education remained a central component of the company’s security approach. Anti-Scam Month initiatives conducted across 2024 and 2025 reportedly reached around 1.38 billion users globally through awareness campaigns, educational content, and community programs. The firm also expanded its Anti-Scam Hub, maintained its public bug bounty program, and introduced interactive initiatives such as the Smarter Eyes Challenge, which engaged nearly 50,000 participants in simulated phishing detection exercises.

Bitget additionally continued partnerships with blockchain security firms including SlowMist and Elliptic to support threat intelligence sharing, fraud prevention research, and broader industry coordination. Through a combination of technical safeguards, user education, and cross-industry collaboration, the exchange stated it remains focused on improving security across digital asset markets.
