What the reporting agrees on

Crypto.news and Cointelegraph agree that Bitget Wallet expanded its AI-powered phishing monitoring and that phishing-related activity was detected at a much higher rate in Q3 2026. Crypto.news reports average weekly detections increased 7.4-fold between Q2 and Q3, while Cointelegraph provides the related volume of about 37,000 flagged signing requests per week in Q3 and attributes part of the increase to better monitoring. The supplied coverage does not contradict the 7.4-fold figure, but it differs in emphasis: Crypto.news centers on the quarter-over-quarter increase and fraudulent-site detection, whereas Cointelegraph focuses on signing-request volume and the likely role of stronger surveillance.

Bitget Wallet announced on November 11 that it had expanded its AI-powered threat detection to cover fraudulent websites. The announcement, shared with Crypto.news, followed a 7.4-fold increase in average weekly phishing-related detections between the second and third quarters of 2026.

Cointelegraph reported a separate scale for the same security trend: Bitget Wallet flagged approximately 37,000 signing requests each week for phishing during Q3. It said improved monitoring likely contributed to the increase, indicating that the expanded detection system may have identified suspicious activity at a higher rate rather than the change representing only a rise in underlying phishing attempts.

Both outlets describe a substantial increase in phishing detections associated with Bitget Wallet’s expanded monitoring. Crypto.news provides the quarter-over-quarter comparison, while Cointelegraph quantifies the weekly number of signing requests and highlights better surveillance as a likely contributor; neither outlet reports a conflicting outcome in the supplied coverage.

The development centers on wallet security at the point where users encounter or approve transactions. By adding AI-based detection across fraudulent websites and related phishing vectors, Bitget Wallet is applying automated monitoring to more of the process through which wallet users may encounter suspicious requests.

The broader market was flat at a $2.52 trillion total capitalization, according to the supplied market data. Bitcoin was down 0.56% over 24 hours, while the Fear & Greed index stood at 29, in the “Fear” range. With no specific coin identified in the announcement, the figures provide general market context rather than a token-specific reaction; the relevant indicators to monitor are future weekly detection totals and flagged signing requests.
