Blockaid

Excited to be in Mexico City this week for Stablecoin Conference 2025, the first major event in Latin America dedicated entirely to stablecoins. Stablecoins are no longer a side story in crypto. They’ve become the backbone of payments, liquidity, and cross-border value transfer, especially in regions like LATAM where the need for faster, safer, and more accessible finance is urgent. I’m looking forward to connecting with builders who are shaping the future of stablecoin adoption and sharing Blockaid's perspective on why security & trust must scale alongside this growth. 🇲🇽 See you in Mexico City!

The FBI says $5.8B in crypto-related fraud was reported in 2024. Blockaid’s analysis shows at least $12.24B ↓

The FBI says $5.8B in crypto-related fraud was reported in 2024. Blockaid’s analysis shows at least $12.24B. Here’s why there’s a delta ↓ Fraud is only counted when victims report it. Both the FBI and traditional finance rely on those reports to measure what is happening. That works for crimes like identity theft, extortion, or harassment, where victims know what happened and file a report. But that model falls apart when it comes to cryptocurrency investment scams like pig butchering. The FBI estimates only 2 in 10 victims come forward. That means 80% of fraud goes uncounted. The result → official numbers understate the true scale of the problem. When evaluating the top 20 CEXs by gross onchain withdrawal volume over the past 12 months, it becomes clear that, big or small, every exchange faces the same level of fraud risk. And the problem is accelerating… Since January 2024, $21B has been siphoned from global centralized exchanges. That’s despite custodians already investing heavily in fraud tools, but those tools aren't making a dent in the problem. Attackers are now using AI and fraud-as-a-service infrastructure to scale faster than existing fraud tools can keep up. For centralized exchanges, the consequences are clear ↓ → More fraud = more case managers, more investigations, and higher costs. → Banks are starting to block payments to CEXs over “intolerable” fraud levels. → Most scammed users lose trust, and stop using the exchange. The bottom line: pig butchering is now industrial, AI-powered, and systemic. Exchanges and custodians are on the frontlines. Failing to act doesn’t just put users at risk… It puts compliance, reputation, and growth on the line.
