Part of DIGITAL ASSETS DAY: The Architecture of Trust – Building Resilient Digital Asset Economies
Watch the recording

Crypto fraud is no longer a niche problem - it’s industrialized. 

Attackers leverage AI, Automation, and Fraud-as-a-Service to exploit Identity Leaks and onboarding weaknesses at scale. Attackers now scale faster than legitimate businesses.

At the same time, new data shows Impersonation Fraud has surged by over 1,000% in the past year, and criminal activity linked to Stablecoins - once seen as a stabilizing force - are now a primary vehicle for illicit flows, according to the latest Chainalysis reports. These trends are reshaping risk, compliance, and trust across the digital asset ecosystem.

In Davos, we bring together voices from Identity Innovation, Global Financial Crime Policy, and Blockchain Analytics to move the conversation beyond “cyber” and into economics: How do we reduce the hidden growth tax of fraud and compliance friction - and design architecture for secure, scalable growth?

Key words are: Smarter Compliance, Interoperable Identity Frameworks, and Architectural Redesign that can turn trust into a competitive advantage. 

Expect actionable insights, forward-looking strategies, and a candid discussion on what leaders must unlearn to thrive in the next wave of digital growth.
