How Blockaid Secures the $5.7T Stablecoin Economy Against Threats

65% of all crypto scam transactions now involve stablecoins. As a stablecoin issuer, the risks to your business extend far beyond technical vulnerabilities—they threaten reserves, reputation, and the trust that underpins your entire operation.

Why stablecoins issuers face unique challenges

Fraud and asset misuse

Scammers exploit stablecoins' liquidity for financial crimes by leveraging their instant transferability and widespread acceptance across platforms.

Criminals exploit these features to orchestrate large-scale fraud schemes, taking advantage of the difficulty in reversing transactions and the challenge of tracking funds across multiple chains.

They often combine legitimate-looking front operations with complex transaction patterns to obscure their activities, making detection particularly challenging for traditional monitoring systems.

Common scams include:

Investment scams: Fake token sales and Ponzi schemes
Elder and romance fraud: Financial exploitation targeting vulnerable users
Money laundering: Using stablecoins for rapid cross-chain laundering of dirty money

Treasury and reserve vulnerability

Because stablecoin stability relies on fully backed reserves, poor treasury security can lead to:

Theft of backing assets: Compromised reserve wallets leading to large-scale losses
Weak access controls: Poorly secured multisignature wallets or admin key leaks
Reserve mismanagement: Errors or misreporting of collateral assets
Smart contract exploits: Attackers manipulating the mint/burn mechanisms

Regulatory compliance pressure

Issuers must maintain full visibility and control over their ecosystems to meet increasing compliance demands, including:

Anti-money laundering (AML) obligations: Detecting and reporting suspicious activity
Proof of reserves: Ensuring tokens remain fully backed and verifiable
Legal liability: Issuers must justify enforcement actions with evidence-backed reporting

Ecosystem-wide exposure and cross-chain complexity

Because stablecoins often integrate with multiple DeFi protocols and exchanges, the attack surface area is massive and opens you up to:

Third-party smart contract vulnerabilities: Exploits in external protocols using the stablecoin
Cross-chain risks: Bridge vulnerabilities and token duplication issues
Inconsistent security standards: Varying levels of protection across platform

Threat intelligence to monitor external threats, like phishing campaigns and malicious dApps

Investigate with actionable evidence

Gain actionable insights and evidence to respond effectively and comply with regulatory needs:

Comprehensive incident context: Visualize transaction flows, token approvals, and connections to onchain and offchain entities for a complete picture.
Compliance-ready evidence: Clear records of malicious wallets, exploited vulnerabilities, and associated activity for law enforcement or regulatory audits.
Integrated workflows: Analyze incidents seamlessly and generate actionable insights to prevent future threats.

Automatically respond to critical incidents

Provide instant, automated protection without requiring manual intervention, by:

Automatically freezing funds linked to fraudulent activity (when permissions allow)
Revoking token approvals so malicious wallets can’t interact with your contracts
Pausing minting and burning contracts to halt token issuance when exploits are detected

Secure protocol contracts and onchain infrastructure

Secure your protocol contracts and infrastructure with:

Continuous smart contract monitoring for vulnerabilities
Detection of unauthorized function calls and contract modifications
Protection for cross-chain bridges and validators from exploitation attempts

Strengthen compliance and regulatory oversight

When incidents and audits happen, make regulatory enforcement less of a headache with:

Evidence-backed reporting that shows flagged addresses, transaction histories, and security logs
