The crypto sector faced a challenging 2025 on the security front. Over $3.4 billion in digital assets were stolen throughout the year, a stark reminder of ongoing vulnerabilities across the industry. Early this year, a major exchange breach resulted in a single $1.5 billion loss—the largest incident of the period. Beyond institutional failures, individual wallet compromises have become an escalating threat. Personal account hacks surged to represent over 7.3% of total theft figures, marking a significant uptick from historical baselines. The trend underscores a troubling shift: while exchanges implement advanced security measures, everyday users remain increasingly vulnerable to sophisticated attacks and credential theft schemes.
