The Chainalysis report shows an explosion in cryptocurrency thefts in 2025, with $2.17 billion stolen in the first six months, surpassing the total in 2024. Cyberattacks, particularly the one on the Bybit platform, have resulted in record losses. A worrying trend is the rise in physical attacks on cryptocurrency users, with cases of kidnappings and violent assaults. Experts point out that the increased adoption of cryptocurrencies is making users more vulnerable and the extravagant lifestyles of influencers are attracting the attention of criminals.
