Bybit said it intercepted and recovered $300 million in impersonation scams and fraudulent withdrawals during Q4 2025, according to an announcement shared with Finbold on February 27, 2026 [1].

The company attributed the results to a 2025 Security Initiative that implemented an industry‑leading, multi‑layered defense architecture and a new AI‑driven risk framework designed to spot and stop fraudulent activity proactively [2][6].

Bybit’s announcement—issued via a Chainwire press release—also framed the exchange as one of the largest crypto trading platforms and, in some coverage, as the world’s second‑largest by trading volume, underscoring the firm’s emphasis on protecting a large user base [2][1].

The company published these security results on February 27, 2026, presenting the AI‑driven framework and multi‑layered defenses as central to its efforts to reduce impersonation scams and fraudulent withdrawals [2][1].
