Cryptocurrency exchange Bitget has officially launched its Anti-Scam Month 2026 under the theme "More Assets, Stronger Shield. Stay Safe in the Multi-Asset Era." The annual campaign aims to equip users with the knowledge to navigate an increasingly complex threat landscape as digital asset platforms expand beyond crypto into broader multi-asset ecosystems.
Alongside the campaign launch, Bitget disclosed key security and fraud prevention metrics from 2025. The platform intercepted over 150 million malicious attack requests, identified 13,000 high-risk malicious IP addresses, and handled 18,135 user protection cases. Its security team helped users recover approximately $32.3 million linked to security incidents and fraudulent activities.
Hon Ng, Chief Legal Officer at Bitget, emphasized the growing responsibilities: "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." He added that protecting users requires continuous risk monitoring, rapid response, education, and industry cooperation.
Throughout 2025, Bitget strengthened its security framework with expanded Passkey authentication based on FIDO2/WebAuthn, enhanced multi-factor authentication for high-risk actions, anti-phishing protections, and real-time device management. The exchange also recorded over 2.8 billion interceptions via custom protection rules and mitigated more than 1.5 billion DDoS-related attack attempts, leveraging machine learning-based behavioral analysis.
User education remained central: Anti-Scam Month initiatives in 2024 and 2025 reached 1.38 billion users globally through security awareness content. The company expanded its Anti-Scam Hub, bug bounty program, and interactive challenges like the Smarter Eyes Challenge, which attracted nearly 50,000 participants in phishing simulations.
Bitget continues to collaborate with blockchain security firms SlowMist and Elliptic for threat intelligence sharing and anti-fraud research, reinforcing its commitment to a safer trading environment in the evolving multi-asset space.
