Binance has announced measures to safeguard 1.2 million users, preventing $2.4 billion in potential losses from scams and fraud in 2024 through advanced monitoring.

According to a press release by Binance, the platform's AI-powered risk engine, combined with manual reviews, effectively identified and flagged suspicious activities.
