Bybit Unveils 2025 Security Milestone: Intercepts $300M in Impersonalization, Scams and Frauds via New AI-Driven Risk Framework

Bybit, the world's second-largest crypto exchange, has unveiled its 2025 security achievements, highlighting the interception of $300 million in fraudulent withdrawals through its new AI-driven risk framework. The system employs a three-tier defense strategy: early warnings for low-risk patterns, real-time alerts for medium-risk withdrawals, and immediate blocking with a cooling-off period for high-risk transactions. In Q4 2025, these measures protected over 4,000 users and recovered $300 million out of $500 million in flagged withdrawals. The platform also thwarted 3 million credential stuffing attacks and identified 950 high-risk addresses. Bybit emphasizes industry collaboration, integrating intelligence from partners like TRM and Chainalysis to enhance ecosystem-wide security.

Fabric: The Dominant Force in the Robotic Economy

The robotics industry is at a critical inflection point, driven by advancements in AI, affordable hardware, and labor shortages in sectors like healthcare and manufacturing. However, robots currently lack economic agency—they cannot own assets, sign contracts, or receive payments like humans, limiting their role to isolated tools controlled by large corporations. Fabric aims to address this by building a decentralized network for payments, identity, and capital allocation, enabling robots to operate as autonomous economic participants. This "robot economy" replaces inefficient, closed-loop cluster models with a permissionless, transparent market where anyone can coordinate, deploy, and benefit from robotic labor. The network uses the $ROBO token for settling payments and incentivizing contributions, with value derived from utility rather than speculation. Blockchain is essential for providing robots with verifiable identity, programmable wallets, and global coordination capabilities. Fabric’s infrastructure allows robots to be deployed at scale, optimized across industries and regions, and integrated into a global workforce. While still early, Fabric is laying the foundation for a future where robots and humans collaborate seamlessly to solve complex challenges.

What happened in crypto today: Rising fear, $254M BTC ETF inflows & more…

The crypto market exhibits cautious sentiment with the Fear & Greed Index near "fear" levels, yet several bullish signals suggest a potential bottom formation. Bitcoin dominance faces resistance near 60%, while altcoin momentum remains limited. Despite $250 million in liquidations (66% longs), derivatives show controlled leverage. Notably, Bitcoin ETFs saw substantial inflows of $254 million, compared to Ethereum's $6.6 million, reinforcing BTC's central role. Analysts highlight upcoming regulatory clarity on March 1st as a key catalyst, warning it could trigger either a rally or a bull trap. With Bitcoin consolidating around $65k, bulls appear to be gaining an upper hand, potentially setting the stage for a short squeeze.

OCC Proposes Framework To Implement GENIUS Act, Targets Stablecoin Yield Workarounds

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has released a proposed framework to implement the GENIUS Act, a landmark stablecoin regulation signed into law in 2025. The 376-page proposal outlines rules for stablecoin issuers under OCC jurisdiction, including reserve standards, liquidity requirements, and risk management controls. A key focus is addressing potential workarounds to the Act’s ban on interest payments for stablecoin holders. The OCC warns that issuers might use third-party arrangements to circumvent the prohibition and proposes a presumption that certain deals with affiliates or related parties would be considered illegal yield payments. The agency is seeking public feedback on the proposal to shape the final rule.
