Bitget said its security team recovered about $32.3 million for users last year as it kicked off its annual anti-scam campaign for 2026.
Bitget Security Results
The crypto exchange opened Anti-Scam Month on Jun. 8, tying the effort to the risks users face as trading platforms expand beyond crypto into multi-asset markets. Alongside the launch, the company released its 2025 security figures. It said it blocked more than 150 million malicious attack requests, flagged over 13,000 high-risk IP addresses, and handled 18,135 user protection cases.
Hon Ng, Bitget's chief legal officer, said wider access to products and markets raises the stakes for security. He argued that protecting users now depends on constant monitoring, quick response, and cooperation across the industry.
The firm pointed to upgrades made through 2025. It expanded passkey logins built on FIDO2 and WebAuthn standards and added machine-learning analysis to catch suspicious behavior. Awareness campaigns across 2024 and 2025 reached roughly 1.38 billion people, the company said.
Bitget has steadily widened its defenses over the past year, logging more than 2.8 billion interceptions through custom rules and blocking over 1.5 billion suspected denial-of-service attempts. It also works with security firms SlowMist and Elliptic on threat intelligence and runs a public bug bounty program.
