The UK government's anti-fraud strategy document lists cryptocurrency as a "growing risk."

According to Cointelegraph, the UK Home Office has released a strategic policy document for combating fraud from 2026 to 2029, categorizing cryptocurrency as a "growing risk."

The document points out that scams on social media and messaging apps lure victims into transferring money through emerging payment methods like cryptocurrency, and authorities still have weaknesses in combating such fraud. The country's National Crime Agency has launched a nationwide campaign in 2025 to help consumers identify fraud, and the government is supporting law enforcement agencies (including the Serious Fraud Office) to enhance their capabilities in investigating crypto assets.
