Bybit Says AI Risk System Blocked $300M in Scam Withdrawals in Q4 2025
Bybit's new AI risk system stopped over $300 million in suspected scam withdrawals during Q4 2025.Summary
Bybit announced that its AI-assisted risk monitoring system prevented over $300 million in suspected fraudulent withdrawals during the fourth quarter of 2025. The system flagged approximately $500 million in withdrawal requests, protecting over 4,000 users through real-time alerts or outright transaction blocks. According to David Zong, Bybit's head of group risk control, much of the $300 million total involved users voluntarily canceling withdrawals after receiving warnings, meaning the funds remained in their accounts without needing recovery. Furthermore, the system identified 350 high-risk investment fraud addresses in the previous quarter, shielding 8,000 users, and thwarted over three million credential stuffing attacks throughout 2025. The framework uses exchange data to flag unusual patterns like mass withdrawals, allowing preemptive blacklisting of dangerous destination addresses, aligning with industry calls for real-time, AI-powered security measures.
