Odaily reports that Bitget officially launched the 2026 Global Anti-Fraud Month campaign in June, themed “More Assets, Stronger Protection: Security in the Multi-Asset Era.” As crypto assets, tokenized stocks, AI, and related products converge on the same platform, users face security challenges far beyond those of the single asset era. This marks Bitget’s third consecutive year initiating this security campaign, aiming to help users enhance risk awareness in the multi-asset era. According to Interpol, in 2025 financial fraud in global multi-asset markets led to losses exceeding $44.2 billion. As tokenized financial products rapidly enter mainstream trading environments, fraud methods have expanded from traditional phishing and disguised SMS to AI-generated scams, identity manipulation, and malicious smart contracts. Bitget CEO Gracy Chen stated that the financial system is becoming increasingly interconnected and users need support in better identifying risks. During Anti-Fraud Month, Bitget will release a series of educational articles and video content, offering in-depth analysis of emerging scam trends in the AI and RWA sectors. In the later stages of the campaign, Bitget will collaborate with on-chain security organizations, RWA agencies, and AI industry partners to jointly publish anti-fraud reports related to multi-asset trading and AI financial risks, further expanding user protection and risk education coverage.

London Metal Exchange three-month copper rose 0.1% to $13,832 per ton on Thursday, after previously dropping 0.9%. LME data shows that 23,475 tons of copper were withdrawn from warehouses that day, of which 18,975 tons came from the New Orleans storage hub in the U.S. On Wednesday, 2,600 tons had already flowed out from New Orleans and Kaohsiung warehouses, bringing the total inventory down to 379,975 tons, the lowest since April 2.Traders said the arbitrage window for moving metal from the LME to the U.S. COMEX exchange is now fully open, making LME warehouse warrant cancellations commercially reasonable. ING analysts pointed out that copper prices have pulled back from recent highs, and heightened tensions between the U.S. and Iran could suppress demand outlook. Price volatility is jointly driven by weakened growth expectations, rising energy costs, and profit-taking after tariff-driven gains. The U.S. Department of Commerce is expected to submit tariff recommendations on copper imports to the President by the end of the month.Low inventory provides substantial support for copper prices, and the expansion in warehouse warrant cancellations indicates the spot market is still actively securing deliverable supply. However, the prolonged duration of the Middle East conflict and uncertainties regarding possible U.S. copper import tariffs are dampening bullish willingness to push prices higher. The market is currently caught in a tug-of-war between supply reduction and concerns over demand.
