Crypto Fraud 2025: How to Stay a Step Ahead

“You’ve got organized hacks, and it's getting harder and harder to know what you're clicking on, if that's real or not.” Crypto is at a tipping point, and while demand is growing, fraud is up 48%, regulations are tightening, and user expectations are shifting.

In the past year alone, over $2.2 billion has been lost due to hacks of crypto exchanges. And crypto crime isn’t just happening online—earlier this year, David Balland, co-founder of Ledger, was kidnapped in Paris with a ransom demand.

In this episode, Thomas is joined by Erica Stanford, a crypto advisor and best-selling author, to find out how you can protect yourself and stay ahead in this rapidly evolving sector.
