Regulators named the main threats to crypto investors before the New Year holidays.
On December 18, 2025, U.S. regulators, including the SEC and FBI, intensified warnings about the rise of crypto fraud ahead of the New Year holidays.

🎅 BEWARE of "Secret Santa" Airdrops! Don't Give Away Your Keys for Christmas.
The holiday spirit is high, but so is the risk. Scammers are currently flooding social media and DMs with fake "Holiday Giveaways" and "Secret Santa" community rewards.
How to spot the Holiday Trap:
The "Connect & Claim" Scam: They ask you to connect your wallet to a festive-looking website to "claim your gift." This is a signature request that gives them full access to your funds.
Urgency Tactics: "Only 100 spots left for the Christmas Bonus!" Real rewards programs don't pressure you into making reckless security decisions.
Impersonation: Look closely at the handle. Scammers are copying official profiles perfectly, only changing one letter.
Your Holiday Shield:
Verify on Official Sites: If it's not on the official website or verified announcement channel, it's fake.
Use a Burner Wallet: If you absolutely want to test a new dApp, never use your main wallet with your life savings.
Don't Click, Just Search: Instead of clicking a link in a DM, search for the project manually.
Keep your crypto safe so you can actually enjoy the holidays!
