Latest data shows that in 2025, global cryptocurrency theft incidents are frequent, with a total stolen amount of approximately $3.4 billion. Among them, a certain national hacker organization stole $2.02 billion in crypto assets through cyberattacks, setting a new record for their annual thefts.



Compared to historical data, this figure is quite astonishing. During the same period last year, this organization’s stolen amount was $1.3 billion, and their total stolen amount has already approached $6.75 billion. In terms of growth, this year’s theft scale has increased by about 55% compared to last year. What does this mean? Exchanges and wallet security defenses need to be upgraded.

This data reveals a reality: behind the prosperity of the crypto market, hacker organizations are becoming more professional and targeted in their attack methods. From personal wallets to cold storage at exchanges, all have become targets. Crypto friends need to stay alert—regularly update wallet software, enable multi-signature authentication, and diversify asset allocation. These basic practices cannot be neglected.

It is worth noting that the rise in stolen amounts also reflects the growth of the crypto market itself. But this is not a good sign—it indicates that the security situation is becoming more severe. Whether for institutions or individual investors, security awareness must be raised to a higher level.
