Crypto scams have surged dramatically in 2025, with global losses projected to exceed $12 billion by year-end. Sophisticated tactics like "pig butchering" scams, deepfake impersonations, and fake trading platforms are targeting unsuspecting investors at an alarming rate. AI-driven fraud has become a major weapon, enabling scammers to create realistic fake videos and social media profiles. Older adults and new crypto users are especially vulnerable, often manipulated through emotional trust-building or fake investment promises. This rise in high-tech, organized fraud highlights the urgent need for stronger regulation, user education, and secure practices like cold wallets and verified platforms to stay protected.
