#特朗普拟阐述打击海外加密诈骗
Trump to hold a dedicated session on Wednesday focused on overseas crypto scams—but this time, the market didn’t panic
According to the latest Reuters report, Trump will focus on cracking down on overseas criminal networks that lure Americans into fake crypto investments at a White House event on cybercrime prevention this Wednesday. The Secretary of Homeland Security, FBI Director Kash Patel, the Secretary of Defense, and the Attorney General will all be there. It’s a top-level lineup.
Why now? The numbers speak for themselves: In the FBI IC3’s 2025 report, crypto-related complaints accounted for $11.37B in losses—more than half of the $20.877B in total cybercrime losses. Investment scams (pig-butchering scams) alone accounted for $7.2B. This isn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision; it’s an agenda shaped by last year’s losses.
Here’s how things have unfolded: A March executive order made tackling cyber fraud a priority for the Justice Department. An August memo went further, allowing vetted private companies to conduct cyber-disruption operations directly against overseas scam networks. Just last week, Brooklyn prosecutors teamed up with the FBI to take down 241 scam websites and 112 servers. Today’s White House event is essentially putting the “results” on display.
What’s interesting is the market reaction: BTC is at $83,366 (+2.3%) on Binance Futures. The price held steady after the news broke—it wasn’t seen as bad news. That’s because the target is scam networks, not the crypto industry itself. Having the “scam” label officially lifted from the industry could actually be a long-term relief.
Do you think this kind of “government-led crackdown on scams” can really uproot pig-butchering schemes?
