Crypto is facing a new security threat from deepfake fraud, as generative AI enables attackers to create realistic fake identities. Fake influencer livestreams and AI-generated video IDs are rising, bypassing standard verification. Experts say current defenses are failing due to multi-modal tactics. The challenge is now scale, as consumer-grade tools make fakes easy. Behavioral and contextual signals must replace visual checks. Regulation like the GENIUS Act is emerging, but platforms need continuous, multi-layered verification to rebuild trust in the crypto space. What is the solution? Multi-layered checks and real-time monitoring.
