Our security team has also played a pivotal role in recovering over $88 million in lost or stolen user funds as of December 1, 2024.

Additionally, Binance’s comprehensive risk management and real-time monitoring systems prevented potential losses of over $4.2 billion due to fraud and scams during 2024, protecting over 2.8 million users globally.

With user interests at the heart of everything we do, these achievements are just the beginning, as Binance continues to set the standard for trust, security, and growth in the crypto space.
