Crypto scam revenue was slashed by almost half in 2022 due mainly to falling crypto asset prices, but two scam types managed to stay immune.<\/p>\n
Crypto scam revenue in 2022, which includes investment scams, NFT scams and romance scams, among others, amounted to $5.9 billion in the year \u2014 down 46% from 2021.<\/p>\n
The data came from a Feb. 16 crime report from Chainalysis, which\u00a0attributed most of the decline in scam revenue to poor market conditions \u2014 as lower crypto prices generally result in lower scam performance.<\/p>\n
