The Consumer Federation of America estimates that cryptocurrency scams resulted in $80.7 billion in losses for Americans during 2025, marking a 22 percent increase from the prior year. This figure substantially exceeds the $11.4 billion in crypto fraud losses officially reported by the FBI for the same period, with the gap attributed to widespread underreporting of victimization.
