Bitget does not treat user security as a footnote. The exchange is bringing back its annual Anti-Fraud Month in June this year under the slogan “More Assets, Stronger Shield,” and the numbers supporting this year’s campaign demonstrate why the initiative exists in the first place.
According to Bitget’s official announcement, the exchange blocked more than 150 million malicious requests in 2025 alone, flagged more than 13,000 high-risk IP addresses, handled 18,135 individual security cases, and helped users recover $32.3 million in funds. These are not marketing numbers, but rather operational numbers that reflect the actual cost of running a secure multi-asset trading platform at scale in today’s environment.
the 2026 campaign arrives At a time when the risks related to cryptocurrency security have never been higher. Financial scams linked to multi-asset markets are said to have cost the world more than $442 billion in 2025 alone. Bitget is putting its full corporate weight behind user protection at a time when that weight is needed most.
Why “More Assets, Stronger Armor” is the right topic
The theme Bitget has chosen for 2026 is no coincidence. As users diversify across more asset classes, spot markets, derivatives, copy trading, Web3 wallets, and mortgage products, their attack surface expands with each addition. A trader who owns five different assets across three different product types faces a significantly different threat profile than someone who holds a single asset in a single portfolio.
This is the truth that directly translates to the phrase “More Assets, Stronger Armor”. The greater a user’s financial exposure, the more attractive they become as a target for scammers, phishing scams, social engineering attacks, and malicious contractual interactions. The security infrastructure that protects a user needs to scale with the complexity of their portfolio, not remain static as their holdings grow.
Bitget’s decision to frame the campaign around this dynamic shows a level of thought about user risk that goes beyond basic password hygiene reminders. He acknowledges that the threat landscape has matured, that attackers are targeting complexity, and that the exchange’s role in protecting users requires matching that complexity with equally sophisticated defenses.
The security numbers for 2025 tell the real story
Blocking 150 million malicious requests in one year is a number worth sitting with you for a moment. This amounts to an average of more than 400,000 blocked attacks every day across the platform, a volume of hostile activity that most users never see precisely because it is detected and stopped before it reaches them.
Flagging over 13,000 high-risk IP addresses gives you a sense of the intelligence process taking place beneath Bitget’s security layer. Identifying and blacklisting IP addresses associated with malicious activity is not a passive process, but requires active threat monitoring, pattern recognition across large data sets, and rapid response systems that can act on new threat intelligence before bad actors adapt their approach.
The 18,135 security cases processed and $32.3 million user refunds are the numbers that hit closest to home. Behind each of these cases is a real person who faced a real threat and, in many cases, got their money back because the exchange had systems in place to detect what happened and intervene. This recovery number is the most direct measure of how much Bitget’s security infrastructure is actually worth to people using the platform.
The $442 billion crypto security problem is now struggling
The broader context around Bitget’s Anti-Scam Month campaign is troubling. Financial fraud associated with multi-asset markets is said to cost the world more than $442 billion in 2025. This figure extends to both traditional finance and cryptocurrencies, but the cryptocurrency sector carries a disproportionate share of risk given the speed of transactions, the irreversibility of cross-chain transfers, and the relative newness of security practices that protect users.
For cryptocurrency exchanges operating on Bitget’s scale, contributing to this $442 billion figure is something security teams are working around the clock to minimize. Every malicious request that is blocked, every high-risk IP address that is reported, and every compromised account that is discovered before money is transferred, represents a direct reduction in what could be added to this global total.
The scale of the problem also explains why one month of increased awareness is not just good PR, but a real public service. Users who understand how scams work, what red flags look like, and how to protect their own accounts are significantly more difficult targets. User-level education exacerbates the technical defenses that exchanges build at the platform level, and the combination of the two is what really moves the needle against organized fraud.
What Anti-Fraud Month actually means in practical terms
Anti-Fraud Month is not just a campaign badge on a website. For Bitget, it represents a focused period of user education, security awareness initiatives, and public communication about the threats users face and the protections the exchange provides.
The timing of the June campaign is deliberate. The middle of the year tends to increase market activity as traders respond to macro developments and cryptocurrency market movements. High activity volumes create more opportunities for fraudsters to integrate, more frequent transactions, more new users entering the market, and more situations where users may move quickly enough to miss a warning signal. Focusing security awareness efforts in this window is a direct response to that reality.
Expanding fraud prevention across Bitget’s multi-asset platform is also important. As the exchange adds products and asset classes, the security infrastructure needs to evolve with it. A security layer designed for spot trading alone is not enough for a platform that also runs derivatives, copy trading, earning products, and Web3 wallet integration. Bitget’s commitment to scaling its defenses alongside its product offerings is what gives the “More Assets, Stronger Armor” theme its operational credibility.
Why this campaign is important goes beyond a single exchange
Bitget running Anti-Fraud Month is beneficial for Bitget users. But the ripple effect of this type of campaign extends beyond a single platform’s customer base. When a major exchange publicly commits to security education and transparently publishes its security metrics, it raises fundamental expectations across the industry of what responsible platform operation looks like.
The numbers published by Bitget, 150 million requests blocked, more than 13,000 IP addresses flagged, and $32.3 million recovered, create a reference point that other exchanges must now take into account. Users who see these numbers begin to wonder if the platforms they use elsewhere are performing to the same standard. This competitive pressure on security is ultimately healthy for the entire ecosystem.
At a time when annual fraud losses of $442 billion are the backdrop and multi-asset cryptocurrency portfolios are growing in complexity, initiatives like Bitget’s Anti-Scam Month 2026 are not optional add-ons to a well-run exchange. It’s part of what it means to take user protection seriously when the assets under management are real, the threats are organized, and the cost of a mistake falls squarely on the shoulders of the people who trust the platform with their money.
