According to a survey by Regula, a provider of identity verification solutions, 44% of crypto firms reported confirmed instances of users employing AI-assisted or automated methods during identity checks in 2026, up from 31% in other industries. The report distinguishes between different types of AI involvement and clarifies that such activity does not necessarily indicate fraudulent behavior.

Story summary
In a recent survey conducted by Regula, a global identity verification solutions provider, 44% of crypto firms reported confirmed instances of AI-assisted or automated activity among users undergoing identity verification processes. This figure is notably higher than the 31% observed in other industries surveyed. The findings are part of Regula’s “Identity Verification in the Age of AI Agents” global study released on October 8, 2026. Such activities can involve an AI assistant acting on behalf of a customer or scripts interacting with verification flows and may pose significant identity verification risks. However, confirming AI involvement does not necessarily mean fraud occurred or that attacks succeeded.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
