Crypto World News: The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) under the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) released data showing that in 2025, IC3 received over 13,400 complaints involving cryptocurrency self-service terminals, with related losses exceeding $388 million. The number of complaints increased by 23% year-over-year, and the losses increased by 58% year-over-year. More than half of the complaints involved individuals over 50 years old, with related losses exceeding $302 million. IC3 stated that criminals often provide detailed guidance to victims on how to withdraw cash from banks, find crypto ATMs, and deposit and send funds through terminals. IC3 warned that the statistics pertain to scam complaints involving the use of crypto ATMs, and the overall losses may not be solely caused by crypto ATMs.
