Bitget, the world's largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has launched Anti-Scam Month 2026, its annual global security initiative running throughout June under the theme "More Assets, Stronger Shield: Stay Safe in the Multi-Asset Era."
As digital finance evolves beyond cryptocurrencies, trading platforms are increasingly bringing together tokenized stocks, real-world assets (RWAs), commodities, forex products, ETFs, and AI-driven investment tools within unified ecosystems.
While this broader market access creates new opportunities for investors, it also introduces new security challenges.
The initiative comes amid a surge in financial fraud targeting users across multiple asset classes. Data cited by Bitget indicates that scams linked to multi-asset markets generated more than $442 billion in global losses during 2025.
New scam tactics target modern Investors
The rise of tokenized financial products and AI-powered tools has created new attack surfaces for cybercriminals.
Fraud schemes increasingly involve phishing campaigns, fake trading applications, malicious smart contracts, identity theft, SMS spoofing attacks, and AI-generated impersonation techniques.
As users move more frequently between traditional financial products and crypto-native assets, scammers are adapting their methods to exploit unfamiliar technologies and cross-platform activity.
Bitget says the campaign is designed to improve user awareness as these threats become more sophisticated and widespread.
Throughout June, Bitget will release a series of educational articles and videos examining common attack vectors and security best practices.
The content will cover threats including phishing systems, fraudulent applications, spoofed communications, malicious smart contracts, and high-risk token schemes.
Special attention will also be given to scams connected to artificial intelligence and tokenized real-world assets, two sectors experiencing rapid growth and increasing investor interest.
The initiative will conclude with the publication of industry-focused anti-scam reports developed in collaboration with security researchers, AI industry participants, and organizations involved in the real-world asset sector.
Beyond educational materials, the campaign will include live discussions hosted through X Spaces, bringing together security experts, blockchain investigators, ecosystem contributors, and community members.
These sessions will focus on identifying emerging scam trends and discussing practical strategies for reducing risks across increasingly interconnected financial markets.
The initiative reflects a broader industry trend toward combining technology-driven security systems with user education as a core component of risk management.
Bitget says Anti-Scam Month 2026 builds on its existing security framework, which includes proof-of-reserves verification, a dedicated Protection Fund, and ongoing user education programs.
“As market access expands, scam tactics are evolving just as quickly,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “Security today requires more than platform infrastructure. It also highly depends on helping users better recognize risk as financial activity becomes more multi-asset by design.”
