Binance, the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange, prevented more than $2.4 billion worth of potential losses from fraud and scams from January to July 2024.

Binance Suspicious Transactions Detected by Exchange Security System

The exchange’s proactive security measure saved over 1.2 million global users. The security system will let the system identify and act on Binance suspicious transactions much faster across different platforms such as peer-to-peer trading, payment, and crypto withdrawals.

Of the prevented losses, approximately $1.1 billion was associated with withdrawals pegged to Binance suspicious transactions. Quite often, this is the stage at which criminals are trying to siphon funds away from Binance’s secure environment.

Binance Recovered $73 Million in Lost Crypto Funds

Beyond detection, the platform incorporates a range of protective measures based on individual risk factors. These include custom notifications, cooldown periods, and numerous appeal channels to help out the users that are potentially at risk. All of these are carefully designed to balance user experience with security in order to ensure a secure trading environment.

Furthermore, the security measures applied at Binance go beyond its platform. As of the end of July 2024, Binance had recovered over $73 million in misplaced or otherwise lost funds for third-party external parties alone.
