In a recent survey conducted by Regula, a global identity verification solutions provider, 44% of crypto firms reported confirmed instances of AI-assisted or automated activity among users undergoing identity verification processes. This figure is notably higher than the 31% observed in other industries surveyed. The findings are part of Regula’s “Identity Verification in the Age of AI Agents” global study released on October 8, 2026. Such activities can involve an AI assistant acting on behalf of a customer or scripts interacting with verification flows and may pose significant identity verification risks. However, confirming AI involvement does not necessarily mean fraud occurred or that attacks succeeded.
