Deepfakes have shifted from a niche concern to a mass-market threat. May’s incidents show how consumer-grade tools now outpace any institutional response.

The damage extends into crypto. Scammers leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to create impersonation scams.

The Deepfake Economy Is Here, and Detection Is Losing

In early May 2026, AI-generated content showed up across politics, entertainment, and crime, as documented by Resemble AI. 

FBI Director Kash Patel posted a video that appeared to use AI to generate shots nearly identical to those in the Beastie Boys’ “Sabotage” music video. Furthermore, an AI video of mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt drew 4.1 million views on X.

These tools aren’t just being used for viral content. They are also fueling real financial harm. A Chicago man lost $69,000 to a scammer who flashed an AI-generated US Marshals badge on a video call. 

Meanwhile, the Atlantic’s Lila Shroff found that OpenAI’s ChatGPT Images 2.0 can generate fake IDs, prescriptions, receipts, bank alerts, and news screenshots.

“All of this makes it even harder for banks, hospitals, government agencies, and the like to prevent fraud,” Shroff wrote.

404 Media exposed Haotian AI, a Chinese real-time deepfake software. Reporter Joseph Cox swapped faces on a live Teams call using this, proving the technology is functional, for sale, and already being used against real victims.

“Three of this week’s stories, Haotian AI, the Meloni deepfake, and the Patel FBI video, come from completely different categories and geographies, but they share a structural condition: the tools used to produce the harm are consumer-grade, widely available, and improving faster than any institutional response. Haotian AI costs a few hundred dollars and works on Teams. ChatGPT Images 2.0 is a subscription product,” Resemble AI said.

Crypto Also Bears the Cost

Crypto has become a prime target for AI-driven deception. According to Chainalysis, fraudsters are now pairing deepfakes, face-swap apps, and large language models with classic romance and investment cons, and the math favors them.

The average AI-assisted crypto scam nets roughly $3.2 million, about 4.5 times the haul of a conventional scheme. Several cases underline the threat. In August 2025, attackers stole $2 million by impersonating the founder of Plasma. 

BeInCrypto has also reported on North Korean operatives running deepfake video calls on Zoom. Together, these incidents mark AI-powered impersonation as one of the sector’s most pressing security risks.

📌 MAROKO133 Eksklusif crypto: US Bitcoin ETFs See $3.4 Billion Inflow Since April,

Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) recorded six straight weeks of net inflows through Friday, drawing $3.4 billion combined. 

The run marks the longest positive streak since a seven-week stretch ended in July 2025, according to SoSoValue data.

Bitcoin ETFs Extend Inflow Streak to 6 Weeks

The week ending April 17 anchored the streak with $996.38 million in net inflows. That marked the largest weekly haul since mid-January.

Notably, Bitcoin products outperformed other crypto ETFs over the same window. Ethereum (ETH) ETFs slipped to an $82.47 million outflow in the week ending May 1. They rebounded to $70.49 million the following week.

XRP (XRP) and Solana (SOL) funds also could not match Bitcoin’s straight run. Both recorded weekly outflows in the week ending May 1, breaking their inflow trend.

Six-Week Streak Faces Test as Buyers Step Back

The current run is close to last summer’s streak in length but trails it sharply in scale. Weekly inflows since April 2 have averaged $568 million. By comparison, the seven-week run ending July 25, 2025, averaged $1.51 billion per week and totaled $10.58 billion.

Moreover, daily flows suggest a cooling of momentum. Bitcoin ETFs posted back-to-back outflows on May 7 and May 8. That broke a five-session green run for the funds.

The funds shed $277.50 million on May 7 and another $145.65 million on May 8. Until then, daily inflows had been strong from April 30 through May 6. Net inflows on May 1 alone reached $629.73 million.

Whether the weekly streak extends to a seventh week now hinges on flows in the days ahead. The next sessions will show whether buyers return or the run ends at six.
