According to data from , TRM Lab's open-source fraud reporting platform, reports of generative artificial intelligence (genAI)-enabled scams between May 2024 and April 2025 , compared with the same period in 2023-24. In addition, reveals a 48% increase in fraud across the crypto industry in 2024, now representing 2.2% of all verification attempts on global crypto platforms.

Key benefits of the integration include:

Advanced risk scoring: Assess risk based on exposure to threat categories and entity profiles – enhanced by TRM's industry-leading attribution to detect crypto fraud and other suspicious activity early. Unified, real-time risk monitoring: Access a single dashboard view of identity and on-chain risk – enabling faster, data-driven compliance decisions.
