Bitget Launches Anti-Scam Month as Multi-Asset Fraud Loss Hits $442 B

Bitget Launches Anti-Scam Month as Multi-Asset Fraud Loss Hits $442 B

Bitget Limited

VICTORIA, Seychelles, June 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has launched Anti-Scam Month 2026, its annual global security initiative running throughout June under the theme “More Assets, Stronger Shield: Stay Safe in the Multi-Asset Era.” The initiative expands Bitget’s focus on user protection as digital finance enters a new phase where crypto, tokenized stocks, RWAs, AI-linked products, and broader multi-asset trading environments coexist within the same trading environment.

According to Interpol, financial scams tied to multi-asset markets resulted in more than $442 billion in losses globally in 2025, reflecting a sharp rise in fraud targeting digital asset users. As tokenized financial products continue entering mainstream trading environments, new vulnerabilities are emerging across crypto wallets, phishing systems, fake applications, AI-generated scams, and identity manipulation techniques built to target users operating across multiple asset classes.

Anti-Scam Month 2026 forms part of Bitget’s broader approach to user protection as the platform continues expanding access to crypto, tokenized stocks, commodities, forex, ETFs, and precious metals under its Universal Exchange model. The campaign is built around the idea that broader financial access must be matched by stronger awareness tools as trading behavior increasingly moves between traditional finance and crypto-native environments within the same platform.

“The financial system is becoming increasingly interconnected as users move across crypto, tokenized assets, commodities, and traditional financial markets within the same trading cycle,” said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget. “As market access expands, scam tactics are evolving just as quickly. Security today requires more than platform infrastructure. It also highly depends on helping users better recognize risk as financial activity becomes more multi-asset by design.”

Throughout June, Bitget will release a multi-part security article and video series covering common attack vectors including SMS spoofing, fake applications, phishing systems, malicious smart contracts, and high-risk token schemes. The content series will also examine emerging fraud patterns tied to artificial intelligence and tokenized real-world assets, two sectors increasingly attracting both institutional attention and scam activity as adoption accelerates. The final phase of the campaign will include the release of anti-scam reports focused on multi-asset trading and AI-related financial risks, co-authored with onchain security agencies, real-world asset institutions, and AI industry partners. Bitget will also host X Spaces bringing together security researchers, ecosystem contributors, and community participants for live discussions around emerging scam trends and risk mitigation strategies across digital finance.

The launch follows Bitget’s continued expansion of platform security measures, including proof of reserves, the Protection Fund, and wider user education initiatives designed to strengthen account safety and risk awareness. As digital assets increasingly intersect with traditional financial markets, platforms are facing growing expectations to combine broader market access with stronger safeguards for users navigating more complex financial environments.

Bitget Launches “Score Your 40%” Affiliate Campaign With $1 Million Prize Pool

VICTORIA, Seychelles, June 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has launched “Score Your 40%“, a new global affiliate campaign featuring a $1 million USDT prize pool designed to accelerate affiliate growth and reward community builders ahead of one of the year’s biggest sporting seasons.

The campaign builds on the momentum of Bitget’s earlier affiliate initiatives, including “The Missing 40%”, which drove a significant increase in community participation. In March alone, Bitget recorded more than 2,000 new affiliate registrations and approved over 1,500 affiliates within two weeks, reflecting growing interest in crypto referral and community-led growth models.

Running throughout June, the campaign introduces a range of rewards, activation bonuses, and milestone incentives for both new and existing affiliates. Eligible participants can earn rewards worth up to 600 USDT through registration, verification, and campaign participation, while competing for a share of the broader $1 million USDT prize pool.

The campaign draws inspiration from the competitive spirit surrounding this summer’s global football season, creating an affiliate-focused tournament designed to reward performance, community growth, and engagement. Through “Score Your 40%,” Bitget aims to further expand its affiliate ecosystem while helping creators, traders, educators, and community leaders monetize their audiences more effectively.

“Bitget has grown from around 25 million users to more than 125 million in just two years. That kind of growth doesn’t happen through advertising alone,” said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. “The affiliate ecosystem has always been one of the strongest growth engines in crypto because it is built on trust. This campaign is about giving more people the opportunity to turn that influence into something meaningful.”

Since November 2025, Bitget has continued expanding incentives and support for affiliates through initiatives such as Boost Month and The Missing 40%. The latest campaign builds on that foundation with what the company describes as one of its largest affiliate-focused reward programs to date.

Bitget’s affiliate program is designed to lower barriers to participation, requiring as few as 100 social media followers or 500 community members to apply. Approved affiliates can access a 40% permanent rebate structure from day one, alongside a streamlined application process with reviews typically completed within 24 hours.

The campaign forms part of Bitget’s broader strategy to strengthen its global affiliate network and expand participation across its growing Universal Exchange ecosystem, which spans crypto, tokenized assets, stocks, commodities, and AI-powered trading tools.

Bitget Rolls Out Stocks 2.0, Linking Tokenized Equities to Real U.S. Market Liquidity

VICTORIA, Seychelles, June 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget, the world’s leading Universal Exchange (UEX), has announced the launch of Bitget Stocks 2.0, an upgraded tokenized stock spot product designed to improve liquidity, asset transparency, and capital efficiency for tokenized equity trading.

The product is issued by Reality, a licensed RWA issuance platform, powered by Bitget’s strategic support, trading access, and asset security within its ecosystem.

The upgrade is built around three product improvements: deeper stock market liquidity, 1:1 economic mapping of the underlying stock asset, and broader use of stock tokens within Bitget’s margin, strategy, and yield ecosystem. Stock 2.0 is designed to connect tokenized stock trading with real equity market liquidity from global channels. This gives users a stock spot trading experience with deeper order books, lower trading friction, and faster execution directly inside the Bitget app.

The product also supports 1:1 asset mapping for eligible stock tokens. With direct stablecoin trading using USDT. Cash dividends are also converted into USDT and credited to users’ accounts. Stock dividends are reflected in user balances, while corporate actions such as stock splits and reverse splits are mapped to token positions to keep economic exposure aligned with the underlying stock.

Stock 2.0 also expands the role of tokenized equities inside Bitget’s ecosystem. Eligible stock tokens can be used within unified account and margin systems, and can be connected to supported tools such as spot grid, futures grid, copy trading, and selected yield products. This gives users more ways to manage capital while maintaining exposure to worldwide equity assets.

“Tokenized equities are the bridge crypto is building between global markets,” said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget. “By 2030, we could see over 10% of global financial assets to be tokenized, which will be fueled by platforms built by access, depth, and compliance. As of today, we have successfully shipped the requirements being built for that future.”

As compared to existing RWA products on platforms Bitget offers the most competitive fees in the market. The base rate is 0.1%, while the Maker/Taker fees is the same as VIP, a fixed fee of 0.05% with BGB offers and zero friction costs making it the most cost-effective route to trade stocks.

The launch builds on Bitget’s early lead in tokenized equity trading, from tokenized stocks and ETFs to stock futures, and pre-IPO.

Bitget ranks amongst the first major crypto exchanges to support tokenized equities, in January 2026, the platform’s cumulative tokenized stock spot volume had surpassed $1 billion, while it accounted for approximately 89% of Ondo-issued tokenized stock trading volume in December 2025. Its stock futures also crossed $10 billion in cumulative trading volume, making it a pioneer in the Universal Exchange model.

The first batch of Bitget Stocks 2.0 includes 36 newly listed stock-linked assets, covering major equities and ETFs such as Apple, Amazon, Meta, Tesla, Alphabet, NVIDIA, Microsoft, and QQQ. Availability is subject to user jurisdiction and applicable eligibility requirements.

Azerbaijan’s Bank ABB launches AI Conversational Banking assistants AI-nur and AI-khan

BAKU, Azerbaijan – Bank ABB, one of the leading financial institutions in the South Caucasus, has officially launched its artificial intelligence assistants AI-nur and AI-khan, making them available to all customers following a successful Beta testing phase. The new conversational AI technology represents a major step forward in the bank’s digital transformation and introduces one of the first voice-enabled AI banking solutions in Azerbaijan’s and regional banking sector.

Since becoming available to customers, AI-nur and AI-khan have demonstrated strong adoption and engagement. More than 230k users have already used the service, generating over 2.5 million interactions through the AI-powered banking assistants.

As banking continues to evolve, conversational interfaces powered by AI, including voice, are becoming an integral part of future banking models, enhancing accessibility, speed, and personalization across digital channels.

Developed as part of Bank’s strategy to build the banking ecosystem of the future, AI-nur and AI-khan enable customers to interact with banking services using natural voice commands. Customers can transfer funds between their cards and accounts or send money to others using a mobile phone number. By simply stating the recipient’s name, the AI system identifies the contact and processes the transfer, provided the number is saved in the sender’s phone contacts. Additionally, the assistants can handle essential security functions, such as blocking or reactivating cards, offering a quick response in critical situations.

According to Bank ABB, the launch of AI-nur and AI-khan demonstrates the bank’s commitment to advancing AI-driven digital banking services in Azerbaijan and the wider South Caucasus region. By integrating conversational artificial intelligence into its digital ecosystem, the bank aims to make everyday banking more intuitive, faster, and more convenient for customers.

The number of generative and predictive models applied in various directions has now reached 180, generating more than 35 million AZN in positive financial impact for the bank.

Security remains a top priority in the development of the new AI assistants. All operations performed through AI-nur and AI-khan are conducted within Bank ABB’s secure digital infrastructure, ensuring that customer data and financial transactions are protected according to the highest banking and cybersecurity standards.

Bank ABB plans to continue expanding the capabilities of AI-nur and AI-khan in the near future, introducing additional features that will allow customers to access more banking services through AI-powered interaction.

More information about Bank ABB’s modern products and services is available on the official website, and via Bank ABB’s official social media pages.

HOFA Gallery Presents Specimens of Time: The Glitched Sublime by Maja Petrić opening during SXSW London 2026

LONDON, June 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — HOFA Gallery is pleased to present Specimens of Time: The Glitched Sublime, a new exhibition by Maja Petrić opening during SXSW London 2026. At a moment increasingly shaped by speed, automation, and relentless digital production, the exhibition proposes a different role for technology: a medium for meaning, perception, and felt connection with the natural world.

Developed over more than two decades, Petrić’s practice integrates custom AI, robotics, light, and real-time environmental data to produce works in which ecological change directly generates form. The Glitched Sublime was developed in collaboration with AI scientist and roboticist Mihai Jalobeanu using live Arctic climate data as its primary material.

The work proceeds from a single premise: artwork is not a depiction of environmental change but a physical record of it. In the Arctic, warming is accelerating at twice the global average, destabilising the seasonal conditions on which life in the region depends. Arctic poppies emerge within these conditions, blooming briefly before temperatures exceed the thresholds of their survival. The exhibition tracks this unraveling through lightbox sculptures and pigment works generated by custom robotics and AI responding in real time to live climate data.

At SXSW London 2026

Presented during SXSW London 2026, Specimens of Time: The Glitched Sublime enters into conversation with the festival’s focus on artificial intelligence, automation, and the future of human experience. In contrast to much of today’s generative AI culture, the exhibition proposes a different trajectory for technology, one centred on ecological memory, embodied experience, and reconnection with the living world.

Alongside the exhibition, Petrić will present Art, Tech & Nature: The Glitched Sublime at SXSW London on Wednesday, 3 June, from 11:40 to 12:10 at Protein Studios (Stage 2). She will also appear on the panel Worldbuilding for the Senses: When Art Meets Experience Meets Brand on Thursday, 4 June, from 16:10 to 16:50 at Truman Brewery (Truman Stage 1).
