Wu said that according to Forbes, the on-chain revenue from crypto scams in 2025 will reach $14 billion. As more addresses are identified, the scale may be revised upward to over $17 billion. Chainalysis pointed out that scam gangs using artificial intelligence tools have an average profit of about $3.2 million per incident, significantly higher than approximately $719,000 (about 4.5 times) for those not using AI. AI exacerbates the proliferation and success rate of social engineering scams through methods such as generating fake identities and deepfakes.
