Bitget Launches Anti-Scam Month 2026 After Recovering $32.3M for Users

Bitget is turning user protection into a central part of its multi-asset strategy after helping users recover $32.3 million linked to scams and security incidents. With Anti-Scam Month 2026, the exchange wants to make fraud prevention as visible as product innovation.

Bitget Puts Security at the Center of the Multi-Asset Era

Bitget has launched Anti-Scam Month 2026 under the theme “More Assets, Stronger Shield. Stay Safe in the Multi-Asset Era.” The campaign comes as Bitget has already warned that fraud risks are spreading across crypto, AI tools and tokenized assets, making user protection harder and more urgent.

The message is direct. As exchanges expand beyond classic crypto trading, scammers also widen their playground. Tokenized stocks, ETFs, commodities, FX products and AI-powered tools create new access points. They also create new traps for less experienced users.

That is why Bitget is presenting Anti-Scam Month as more than a communication campaign. It is a security signal. The company wants users to understand that a broader financial platform requires broader defenses.

$32.3 Million Recovered and a Larger Security Machine

The numbers released by Bitget show the scale of the problem. In 2025, the platform says it intercepted more than 150 million malicious attack requests and identified over 13,000 high-risk malicious IP addresses. It also handled 18,135 user protection cases.

The most striking figure is the $32.3 million recovered for users affected by security incidents and fraudulent activity. In an industry where stolen funds often disappear quickly, recovery capacity becomes a real trust marker. It does not erase the risk. But it shows that response speed matters.

Bitget also reported more than 2.8 billion interceptions through custom protection rules and over 1.5 billion mitigated DDoS-related attack attempts. Those figures point to a heavier security workload behind the scenes. The flashy part of crypto is trading. The quieter part is stopping attacks before users even notice them.

Passkeys, AI Monitoring and Scam Education

Throughout 2025, Bitget strengthened account protection across several layers. The platform expanded passkey authentication based on FIDO2 and WebAuthn standards. It also improved multi-factor authentication for high-risk actions, anti-phishing systems and device management tools.

This matters because many scams no longer begin with a complex blockchain exploit. They begin with a fake link, a compromised device, a social engineering message or a cloned website. In those cases, better login protection can block damage before funds move.

Education remains another major pillar. Bitget says its Anti-Scam Month campaigns in 2024 and 2025 reached around 1.38 billion users globally. The company also expanded its Anti-Scam Hub and ran interactive initiatives such as the Smarter Eyes Challenge, which attracted nearly 50,000 participants through simulated phishing and scam detection exercises.

Security Becomes a Competitive Advantage

Bitget’s Chief Legal Officer Hon Ng framed the issue clearly. As users access more products through one platform, security responsibilities increase too. That sentence captures the shift now taking place in crypto. Exchanges can no longer compete only on listings, fees or trading tools.

They must also prove that they can detect fraud, educate users and cooperate with security partners. Bitget says it works with blockchain security firms such as SlowMist and Elliptic to strengthen threat intelligence sharing and anti-fraud research.

The challenge is not small. Scammers move fast. They use fake apps, malicious contracts, phishing pages, deepfake content and social manipulation. Some attacks look amateur. Others are polished enough to fool experienced users. That is why a campaign like Anti-Scam Month needs repetition, not just one annual announcement.

For Bitget, the deeper message is strategic. A Universal Exchange model only works if users trust the environment holding their assets. As crypto phishing losses remain a major concern despite signs of improvement, Bitget is trying to turn security into a visible layer of its brand. In the multi-asset era, protection is no longer backstage. It is part of the product.
