Renowned blockchain investigator ZachXBT says Coinbase, the largest U.S.-based centralized crypto exchange, has failed to end social engineering scams on its platform, resulting in over $300 million worth of losses per year, according to a Feb. 3 X post thread. ZachXBT and Tanuki42 from zeroShadow, a Web3 security platform, reviewed Coinbase withdrawals and data from direct messages on X. They found that from December 2024 to January 2025, Coinbase users lost approximately $65 million due to social engineering scams. The investigation did not account for Coinbase support tickets and police reports, so the stolen amount may be higher than the estimated $65 million.
