Binance said its artificial intelligence security stack prevented more than $10.5 billion in potential user losses across 15 months as crypto fraud accelerates.
Binance AI Stack Details
The world's largest crypto exchange disclosed the figure in a Monday blog post. It covers the period from the start of 2025 through the first quarter of 2026, protecting more than 5.4 million users worldwide.
Binance said its systems intercepted 22.9 million scam and phishing attempts in the most recent quarter alone, safeguarding roughly $1.98 billion in user funds.
The exchange has deployed more than 24 AI initiatives and over 100 machine learning models by late 2025. Those tools now power 57% of fraud controls.
The systems contributed to a 60% to 70% drop in card fraud rates against industry benchmarks. Computer vision flags fake payment proofs, while real-time language analysis catches scam patterns in peer-to-peer transactions.

Chainalysis Fraud Estimates
Binance Research previously estimated that AI is currently twice as effective at exploitation as at detection. The firm also warned that AI-enabled scams are 4.5 times more profitable than traditional ones.
Smart contract exploits now cost attackers as little as $1.22 to deploy, the company said. Advanced models hit a 72.2% success rate in attack scenarios.
Roughly 76% of AI-driven scams fall within the highest tier for scale and severity. Attackers lean on deepfakes, voice cloning, and impersonation across messaging platforms.
Chainalysis has pegged total crypto-related fraud at $17 billion in 2025, a 30% rise from the prior year.
Recovery And Compliance Track Record
Binance said it helped recover $12.8 million across 48,000 cases in 2025, marking a 41% year-over-year increase. The exchange also assisted in confiscating $131 million in illicit funds and processed more than 71,000 law enforcement requests.
The exchange's surveillance systems have drawn fresh scrutiny in recent months. Reports surfaced that Binance fired several employees in retaliation for flagging transfers to sanctioned Iran-linked entities, allegations the company has denied.
Binance also recently rolled out a withdrawal lockdown feature aimed at curbing the rise of physical attacks on crypto holders. Security firm CertiK warned earlier this year that so-called wrench attacks are on pace to surpass record levels seen in 2025, with family members of holders increasingly targeted.
