Illicit Cryptocurrency Flows Hit Record $158 Billion in 2025
- AI Scam Evolution: According to TRM Labs, illicit cryptocurrency flows reached a record $158 billion in 2025, indicating a global expansion of scam operations, particularly as the use of large language models in fraud schemes increased fivefold, highlighting how technological advancements have made scams more covert and complex.
- Trust-Building Fraud Patterns: Scammers utilized AI-generated images, voice cloning, and deepfake technology to create convincing fake identities, enabling them to write believable messages in multiple languages and manage numerous conversations simultaneously, with many schemes following a pattern of establishing trust before pivoting to fake investment offers or fraudulent tax demands, significantly enhancing their success rates.
- Organized Crime Groups: Security researchers linked many scams to organized groups associated with North Korea, which operate like small companies by hiring staff, selling tools, and reusing scripts across multiple campaigns, demonstrating the professionalization and systematization of scam activities.
- Market Context Impact: Although scam-related wallet proceeds slightly declined from $38 billion in 2024 to $35 billion in 2025, the overall criminal volume increased significantly, especially against the backdrop of Bitcoin trading between $88,000 and $90,000 in early 2026, further exacerbating the urgency and plausibility of cryptocurrency fraud attempts.
