Protect your cryptocurrency brand
Whether you offer cryptocurrency, NFTs, crypto-gaming, digital wallets, or any other blockchain-based offering, your company, and customers are the first targets of digital attacks and other scams. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), cryptocurrency was the most common payment method used in investment scams in 2021, and this trend is only rising.
Phishing attacks, social media impersonations, and countless scams surrounding e-wallet and cryptocurrency trading would cost you a large amount of money in case of an attack.
Indeed, the cryptocurrency industry is highly sensitive to scams and frauds and we have witnessed companies collapsing following one scam. An absolute nightmare for any company. So whether you are a B2C cryptocurrency exchange platform or you are B2B cryptocurrency trading company – you need the highest level of protection. You need BrandShield.
