The UK government has published its Fraud Strategy 2026 to 2029, highlighting the "growing risk" posed by cryptocurrency. The report's authors stated that cryptocurrency is now part of everyday life and will continue to influence the threat posed by fraud. The policy paper stressed the need for greater coordination across government, police, private-sector platforms, and civil society. It also highlighted the increasing sophistication of digital-asset flows, with up to $17 billion in crypto transferred to addresses associated with scams and fraud globally in 2025. The strategy includes a new public-private Online Crime Centre, an expanded “Stop! Think Fraud” campaign, and the rollout of the Report Fraud service.
