Binance has announced that its artificial intelligence-powered security tools will have prevented $10.53 billion in potential user fund losses from fraud and malicious activity between 2025 and March 2026.
Over 5.4 million users protected
According to a company blog post released on Monday, Binance successfully safeguarded over 5.4 million users from fraud attempts from the first quarter of 2025 to the first quarter of 2026. During this period, the exchange deployed more than 24 AI-focused initiatives and implemented over 100 advanced security models.
Binance, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, provides services ranging from spot and futures trading to custody, payments, and Web3 solutions. Given its massive user base, the platform often finds itself targeted by cyberattacks aimed at both retail and institutional clients.
Binance has noted that AI-driven vulnerabilities and fraudulent activities are accelerating, with attacks that once required technical expertise now being carried out at large scale and low cost.
22.9 million fraud attempts blocked in early 2026
The exchange reported that it blocked 22.9 million phishing and fraud attempts in the first quarter of 2026 alone. This effort successfully protected user assets worth $1.98 billion during that period.
According to company data, Binance blacklisted 36,000 malicious addresses over the 15 months leading up to March 2026. The firm attributes this progress to the integration of AI systems into its core security protocols.
As attack methods in the crypto industry grow more complex, organized threat groups are increasingly leveraging AI technologies. Data released by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation in April indicated that American citizens lost $11 billion to crypto-related scams.
New defense against deepfakes and fake identities
Binance detailed that it now uses computer vision technology to detect fake payment proofs. The company is also working to identify scam patterns in real time through sophisticated language analysis tools.
AI systems have also been rolled out for identity verification. To combat advanced deepfake content and synthetic identities, Binance has integrated these technologies directly into its authentication procedures.
According to Binance, AI-driven decision systems are now employed in 57% of its fraud checks. The company states that this approach has led to a reduction in card-linked fraud rates by 60 to 70 percent compared to industry averages.
