Binance Says AI Security Systems Protected 5.4 Million Users

According to Binance, its AI-based fraud defenses protected about $10.5 billion in potential losses for more than 5.4 million users from Q1 2025 through Q1 2026.

Fact Check
All key figures in the claim — 5.4 million users protected, $10.53 billion in risky funds blocked from 2025 through Q1 2026, 24+ AI-led security initiatives, and 100+ AI models — are consistently reported across multiple independent, credible sources. The Block's article directly cites Binance's official May 11, 2026 blog post (binance.com/en/research/analysis/ai-powered-crypto-security) as the primary source. The @WuBlockchain post (a supplied link) independently confirms all figures verbatim. A retweet of @binance's own official account corroborates the '24 AI initiatives' and '100+ AI models' figures. Crypto.news also independently confirms the $10.53 billion and 100+ models figures. The only caveat is that these figures are self-reported by Binance and cannot be independently audited, which is standard for exchange security disclosures. No conflicting evidence was found.
Summary

The company said the figures cover the period from Q1 2025 through Q1 2026 and added that more than 100 AI models are currently running as AI-driven scams become cheaper to execute.
