At the Global Anti-Scam Summit London 2025 , leading voices from regulatory, investigative, financial, and enforcement communities came together to assess the evolution of crypto-enabled fraud and the collaborative response required to stop it.
Victoria McLoughlin, Head of Department – Market Interventions – Digital Assets at the Financial Conduct Authority, opened the workshop with a powerful overview of how the UK is strengthening its regulatory regime to address crypto scams and safeguard consumers. She outlined the FCA’s efforts around licensing, enforcement, advertising oversight, and cross-sector engagement.
In the panel discussion that followed, moderator Jonathan Anastasia, President of CUBE3.AI , was joined by Peter Jones, Deputy Editor in Chief – Investigations at the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP); Ben Weiss, Chief Executive Officer at CoinFlip; and Aaron Boyd, Vice President – Product Strategy and Engagement at Mastercard.
Together, they discussed scam typologies, weaknesses in the crypto and banking infrastructure, and how compliance, data-sharing, and user education can reduce victimisation.
The final session explored Operation Spincaster, a public-private initiative designed to prevent fraud by identifying scam patterns in blockchain data. Ruben van Well of the Dutch National Police and Phil Larratt, Director – Investigations at Chainalysis, detailed how their collaboration helped freeze assets and prevent victim losses before the scams could be completed.
This workshop underscored the need for a multi-layered response — combining technology, regulation, law enforcement, and real-time intelligence — to tackle crypto fraud at scale.
