Financial behemoth BlackRock has issued a <a href="https://x.com/BlackRock/status/1817672808853377193" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">warning</a> about cryptocurrency-related scams on its social media account.&nbsp;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">

“We urge caution in dealing with individuals, websites or social media platforms using our brand and offering training or investments,” BlackRock said.&nbsp;
<a href="https://bitcoinworld.co.in/blackrock-imposters-target-crypto-etfs-investors/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">BlackRock</a> has stressed that it never contacts anyone through social media platforms.&nbsp;
Last year, it took legal action against the owner of various fake domains that were impersonating the New York-headquartered company in order to defraud investors. Some of the bogus websites were related to crypto.&nbsp;
Last December, an XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) called “BlackRock iShares XRP Trust” was submitted by a fraudster, pushing the price of the Ripple-affiliated altcoin significantly higher. BlackRock ended up issuing a statement that the filing was fake.&nbsp;&nbsp;
During a recent CNBC interview, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink said that he views Bitcoin as a “legitimate” investment. In 2017, Fink dismissed the largest cryptocurrency as merely a tool for money laundering.&nbsp;
In January, BlackRock launched a highly successful Bitcoin ETF. Earlier this month, the company’s Ethereum ETF also went live, significantly outperforming competing ETF products.&nbsp;&nbsp;
According to data provided by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), cryptocurrency investment scams resulted in nearly $4 billion worth of losses last year in the US.
The rise of generative AI makes it easier for scammers to create convincing deepfakes in order to defraud crypto investors.
