In Texas, cryptocurrency scams have resulted in significant financial losses. According to the FBI, Texans lost over $1 billion to such scams in 2025. This amount is second only to California in terms of the amount lost to fraudsters.

Scams involving cryptocurrency often take the form of fraudulent investment opportunities. However, criminals are increasingly using digital currency for quick payouts that are difficult to track.

Further information on common cryptocurrency scams in Texas and how to protect oneself is available from the Harris County district attorney's office and other sources, including KPRC 2 Houston.
