- Bitget launched Anti-Scam Month 2026 to educate users about emerging fraud risks.
- AI-powered scams and tokenized asset fraud are becoming major threats to investors.
- The campaign includes educational content, security research, and industry collaboration.
As digital finance continues to evolve, the risks facing investors are becoming more complex. In response to growing concerns around online fraud, Bitget has launched Anti-Scam Month 2026, a month-long global security campaign designed to help users identify and avoid emerging threats across the rapidly expanding multi-asset trading landscape.
The initiative, which runs throughout June under the theme “More Assets, Stronger Shield: Stay Safe in the Multi-Asset Era,” focuses on educating users as trading platforms increasingly combine cryptocurrencies, tokenized assets, commodities, precious metals, and AI-related investment products into a single ecosystem.
Growing Financial Crime Threats in the Digital Era
The campaign comes at a time when financial fraud is becoming a major global concern. According to Interpol’s recent financial threat assessment, more than $442 billion was lost from the global economy in 2025 due to various forms of financial crime.
A significant portion of these losses has been linked to increasingly sophisticated scams powered by artificial intelligence. At the same time, the mainstream adoption of tokenized assets has created new opportunities for cybercriminals to target investors across multiple markets.
These threats now extend beyond traditional crypto scams and include phishing attacks, fake applications, identity manipulation, malicious smart contracts, and AI-generated fraud schemes.
Education Takes Center Stage
Bitget’s Anti-Scam Month has become an annual initiative aimed at strengthening user awareness and security practices. Previous editions introduced tools and programs such as anti-phishing measures, educational challenges, and dedicated security resources.
This year’s campaign expands those efforts through a comprehensive series of articles and videos covering common attack methods. The educational content will focus on issues such as SMS spoofing, fraudulent apps, phishing networks, high-risk token projects, and malicious smart contract activity.
Special attention will also be given to scams involving AI technologies and tokenized real-world assets, two sectors that continue to gain traction among investors.
Industry Collaboration to Address Emerging Risks
Toward the end of the campaign, Bitget plans to publish specialized reports examining risks associated with AI-driven finance and multi-asset trading environments. The reports will be developed in collaboration with blockchain security firms, real-world asset organizations, and AI industry partners.
The company will also host X Spaces discussions featuring security researchers, ecosystem contributors, and community members to encourage broader conversations around investor protection.
Bitget CEO Gracy Chen said the growing interconnectedness of financial markets means users frequently move between crypto, tokenized assets, commodities, and traditional markets during the same trading cycle. As a result, scammers are adapting their tactics to target a wider range of opportunities.

Bitget’s Anti-Scam Month 2026 reflects a growing industry focus on education as a key line of defense against financial fraud. As digital assets, AI technologies, and tokenized markets continue to converge, investor awareness may become just as important as technological safeguards. Through educational resources, industry partnerships, and community engagement, Bitget aims to equip users with the knowledge needed to navigate an increasingly complex financial ecosystem safely.
