Did you know? In 2024, the FBI and U.S. Department of Justice secretly launched a fake crypto project called NexFundAI, deploying a real token on the Ethereum blockchain as part of an undercover sting. The operation was designed to expose market manipulation in the crypto industry, specifically targeting firms offering illegal “wash trading” services to artificially inflate token prices and trading volume.
This leads to charges against 18 individuals and multiple firms, with authorities seizing more than $25 million in crypto assets. It marked one of the first times U.S. law enforcement created and operated its own cryptoc token to catch fraud in real time, underscoring a new level of direct engagement in combating digital asset crime.
