On April 4, Cryptonews reported that a new report from the Scottish Police showed that crypto-related crimes have increased by an alarming 2,000% since 2019. The 2025 annual report submitted to the Police Performance Committee of the Scottish Police Service (SPA) outlines the growing challenges law enforcement faces in combating cybercrime and fraud, particularly those involving cryptocurrencies. Authorities stressed that despite significant progress in digital forensics and tracing technology, Scotland still lacks a dedicated cryptocurrency crime unit. Plans are under way to address this shortcoming by establishing a Cyber and Fraud Command Unit, which aims to consolidate Scotland's approach to investigating and prosecuting digital crime. Despite these advances, the rapid growth of cybercrime still poses a huge threat and requires further investment in law enforcement capabilities.
