Bybit says it prevented $300 million in scam-related losses in the fourth quarter of 2025, marking a major milestone in its AI-driven security overhaul.
The exchange unveiled results from its 2025 Security Initiative, built around a Dynamic Risk-Based protection model. The framework introduces a three-tier withdrawal defense system designed to stop fraud before funds leave the platform.
The approach comes amid sobering industry data. According to Chainalysis, crypto scams and fraud cost investors $17 billion in 2025 alone.
Bybit’s “Triple-Tier Fraudulent Defense Framework” classifies withdrawal risks into low, medium, and high categories. Early-warning signals flag suspicious patterns such as bulk withdrawals to new addresses. Medium-risk events trigger real-time alerts, particularly when accounts are linked to credential leaks or flagged wallet addresses. High-risk scenarios, including links to confirmed “pig butchering” schemes, result in immediate withdrawal blocks and a mandatory one-hour cooling-off period.
The impact has been measurable. In Q4 alone, $500 million in withdrawals were flagged, with $300 million successfully intercepted, protecting over 4,000 users. The platform’s AI models identified 350 high-risk scam addresses, shielding 8,000 users from potential losses.
Beyond withdrawals, Bybit blocked more than 3 million credential-stuffing attempts in 2025. Its cross-chain tracing tools froze $4.32 million tied to illicit activity, aiding 335 victims.
Crucially, Bybit emphasized collaboration over competition. It integrated intelligence feeds from TRM Labs, Elliptic, and Chainalysis to share standardized fraud signals across the industry.
As centralized exchanges face mounting regulatory scrutiny, proactive security may increasingly define competitive advantage. In a year marked by record fraud, prevention, not recovery, is emerging as crypto’s most valuable feature.
