- Scammers targeting crypto projects with fake Binance listing promises uncovered.
- Binance warns of listing agents demanding fees for spot market listings.
- AI-driven impersonation scams raise concerns in the growing crypto space.
Binance has issued an essential warning to crypto projects about a growing scam targeting new ventures. Scammers are posing as listing agents, promising fast-track listings on Binance in exchange for large fees. The exchange has indicated that it does not allow any third-party agents or intermediaries to process listing applications. All projects that try to pass such fraudulent procedures are automatically eliminated from the platform.
In exchange, the exchange repeated that no fees are charged to be listed on the spot market at Binance. Any message requesting money as a precondition of an official and signed contract is a definite sign of a scandal. Binance is also urging projects to remain suspicious about its unknown contacts and to check all contacts through its official verification tool, Binance Verify. Projects are also encouraged to report any suspicious activity to protect themselves and the broader crypto community.

AI-Powered Scams Add New Threats to the Crypto Ecosystem
In addition to the listing scam warning, Binance has pointed out the growing risk of AI-driven impersonation scams. Cybercriminals are increasingly deploying advanced technology to fake the identity of legitimate persons through emails, voices, and online avatars. Thus, it is becoming extremely difficult for users and projects to determine whether they are interacting with legitimate agents or fraudsters. This increase in advanced fraud is further complicating the security in the crypto world.
Binance also warned of scammers posing as customer support representatives who make people change the settings on their API or disclose essential login details. Such scams endanger users’ funds. With these threats continuously changing, Binance is making efforts to create awareness and train its community on what to look out for to avoid possible scams. As new approaches continue to arise, the company keeps taking proactive actions to guarantee the safety of its users and protect the integrity of the platform.
Through these efforts, Binance aims to minimize the impact of scams and protect the crypto space’s reputation.
