US$ 11,36 Billion Lost: The Crypto Fraud Epidemic No One Wants to Discuss
Americans lost US$ 11,36 billion in crypto-related fraud in 2025. This is a 22% increase from the previous year. And if you think this is just an American problem, you are mistaken.
Crypto scams are a global industry. Pig butchering, rug pulls, sophisticated phishing, fake exchanges, cloned tokens — the creativity of scammers evolves as quickly as the technology we try to protect. And the worst part: as the market becomes more mainstream, the victims are no longer just uninformed beginners. Experienced investors also fall prey.
What is fueling this epidemic? Three main factors.
First, the increasing complexity of the ecosystem. DeFi, bridges, multiple chains — each new layer is a new attack surface.
Second, the lack of crypto financial education. People learn to buy tokens before learning to protect their wallets.
Third, the speed. Blockchain transactions are irreversible. By the time you realize it's a scam, it’s too late.
But it’s not all pessimism. Regulation is advancing — the CLARITY Act in the U.S. is in markup phase in the Senate.
On-chain analysis tools are becoming increasingly sophisticated. And the community is learning, even through pain.
What can you do now? Never connect your wallet to unknown dApps. Use hardware wallets. Check contracts before approving transactions. Be wary of guaranteed returns. And remember: in crypto, if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Protecting your capital is just as important as multiplying it.
