Binance has launched the Anti-Scam Refund Initiative to combat digital scams with an AI-powered defense system.
The global scam industry has professionalized, with scammers using psychological manipulation and sophisticated tools.
The initiative by Binance aims to prevent, detect, and recover from scams globally.
In 2024, crypto scams generated at least $9.9 billion on-chain, with pig butchering and investment schemes leading the fraud.
Binance blacklisted over 47,000 malicious addresses and issued 15,000 daily targeted alerts to users in 2024.
The exchange froze funds transferred to flagged accounts for 24 hours, processed over 20,000 chats with high-risk users, and implemented AI-driven recovery mechanisms.
Binance recovered $9.1 million in stolen assets monthly and prevented $129 million in losses in 2024.
More than 30,000 calls were made to potential scam victims, providing guidance and warnings in real-time.
Binance assisted global law enforcement in recovering funds and breaking up scams, emphasizing user protection and trust-building.
The Anti-Scam Refund Initiative demonstrates Binance's proactive approach to crypto security, setting a new standard in the digital asset world.
