My 'new friend' from a fitness app scammed me with fake crypto — is it too late for reporting in Germany?

I met someone really nice on a fitness app a few months ago. We talked almost daily, really clicked, he seemed so supportive and kind. After a while, he started talking about crypto investments, saying he made really good money on some platform. I've always been a bit curious, and he made it sound so easy, showed me screenshots of his 'gains'. Foolishly, I trusted him. I ended up putting in about 15,000 Euros over a few weeks into this platform he linked me to, called 'CoinFlow Pro'. Everything looked legitimate, I saw my balance growing. Then I tried to withdraw a small amount – maybe 500 euros – and suddenly there were 'fees' and 'taxes' I needed to pay. When I refused, he disappeared. Blocked me everywhere. I feel so stupid and heartbroken. I know I should report it, but does anyone know if there's any point in Germany, especially since it's crypto and this 'platform' is probably fake? I'm in Dresden. I've heard about BaFin but don't know where to start.
