🚨 Record-breaking fraud: Cryptocurrency scams reached $17 billion in 2025 Chainalysis's latest report reveals shocking data: the total amount of stolen crypto assets has reached an all-time high. Criminals' methods are becoming increasingly intelligent and sophisticated. Key report findings: $17 billion — Total amount stolen (all-time record). 1400% — Explosive growth in identity impersonation scams (Impersonation Scams). $2,764 — Average amount per fraudulent transaction (nearly fourfold increase). AI becomes a new weapon for fraudsters 🤖 Artificial intelligence has changed the game. Fraud schemes using AI are 4.5 times more efficient than traditional methods. Deepfakes and smart bots make it difficult even for experienced users to stay protected. Good news: Justice has never been absent ⚖️ Despite rampant criminal activity, 2025 has also been a year of large-scale enforcement actions. Global law enforcement agencies have recovered approximately $14 billion. Major confiscation operations in the UK and crackdowns on transnational criminal groups prove that the 'anonymity' of cryptocurrencies is not a safe haven for criminals. How to avoid becoming a victim? Always verify the sender's identity (even if they claim to be 'customer service' or 'a friend'). Be cautious of any video calls or voice messages requesting transfers (watch out for AI deepfakes). Always enable two-factor authentication (2FA) and use hardware wallets. 🛡️ Protect your assets, trade safely! #Chainalysis #加密安全 #诈骗警示 #区块链新闻 #安全第一 {spot}(BTCUSDT)

US Risks Falling Behind in Stablecoin Adoption Amid Global Surge: Chainalysis ReportA #chainalysis report reveals that the United States is losing ground in stablecoin adoption due to regulatory uncertainty, even as demand for US dollar-backed #Stablecoins soars globally. In 2024, stablecoin transactions on US platforms fell below 40%, down from 50% last year, while non-US platforms surpassed 60%, driven by emerging markets like Argentina and Turkey. Tether’s CEO #PaoloArdoino noted that demand is strongest in regions with unstable currencies.

🟠Paris is becoming a crypto warzone this May. First, a €7.8M ransom kidnapping. Then, Paymium CEO’s daughter and grandson fought off armed attackers in broad daylight. And now, Chainalysis CEO Jonathan Levin drops the truth: these gangs are stuck in 2017.

🔤 Crypto CEO’s Family Fights Off Armed Kidnappers in Paris
🟠The offline violence against #crypto elites is escalating. On May 13, Paymium CEO Pierre Noizat’s daughter and grandson were attacked in broad daylight in #Paris . Three masked men tried to kidnap them — but the daughter didn’t go down easy. She fought back, disarmed one of the attackers, and threw the gun away while passersby jumped in to help.
🟠The attackers fled, leaving behind a van and chaos. All victims were hospitalized, and the case is now under the scrutiny of France’s anti-banditry police unit.
🟠This isn’t an isolated incident. Just this month in Paris, another crypto entrepreneur’s father was freed from kidnappers who demanded €7M ransom. In Las Vegas, teens held a crypto investor at gunpoint for $4M in crypto and #NFTs . The message? Offline crypto crimes are no longer rare — they’re becoming the new norm.
🟠Crypto veterans like Jameson Lopp have long warned about the rise of so-called “wrench attacks.” The scariest part? They’re often underreported. Victims stay silent out of fear or humiliation.
🚨 In this game, OPSEC isn’t optional. Stop flaunting wealth online, rethink your public routines, and remember: in crypto, your physical security is now as important as your private keys.

Chainalysis: Crypto Crime May Hit $4B+ in 2025 Chainalysis' mid-year review shows over $2.17B stolen from centralized platforms and wallets by June 2025. This puts the industry on track to exceed $4B in thefts by year’s end. Notably, ~$8.5B in stolen funds remain unlaundered—sitting idle in blacklisted wallets, likely waiting for low-liquidity bridges or decentralized mixing. A disturbing new trend: wrench attacks, where physical coercion is used to access private keys, rose 240% YoY, mostly in LATAM and Eastern Europe. Governments are pushing for mandatory reporting of custodial wallet thefts, while new startups are offering “wallet insurance” with varying levels of coverage. Reminder: Consider multisig, biometric key backups, and geo-locking for large personal wallets. Cashtags: $BTC , $ETH Hashtags: #CryptoCrime #Chainalysis #PersonalWalletRisk {spot}(BTCUSDT)

Crypto Adoption Index 2025: India and the U.S. at the forefrontThe latest Crypto Adoption Index 2025 produced by Chainalysis reveals that India and the United States top the list of countries with the highest level of global cryptocurrency adoption. The study shows that the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region plays a fundamental role in this growth, especially in grassroots momentum (adoption from the ground up), where millions of small users, businesses, and communities are incorporating cryptocurrencies into their daily lives. This phenomenon reflects how digital assets are no longer just an investment instrument, but also a tool for financial inclusion and an alternative in systems where access to traditional banking services is limited.

🔐 $3.4B THEFT: THE CATALYST FOR CRYPTO'S NEXT WAVE

A hard number just dropped: $3.4B stolen in 2025 (Chainalysis).

But the real story isn’t the loss—it's the $50B+ security infrastructure wave about to begin.

Here’s why smart money isn’t panicking:

· Scale signals adoption.

This much theft means there’s far more value secured on-chain than ever before.

· Institutions won't enter until security is solved—creating the single biggest funded catalyst for the next cycle.

· Solutions will outperform speculation. The projects fixing this will define the next era of crypto.

This is crypto’s "https moment."
The early internet wasn’t halted by hacking—it was secured by it.

Where to look next:

· On-chain intelligence & forensics

· Decentralized custody & recovery

· Insurance and risk-markets

· Projects that make user security invisible

The bottom line:

The next 100x narrative isn’t about a meme.

It’s about building the vault.

Are you focused on the threat, or the solution?

В расчёт берутся операции на централизованных платформах, активность в #DeFi и участие как розничных, так и институциональных игроков. 🔹 США поднялись на второе место (против более низкой позиции в 2024 году), а Индия сохраняет лидерство благодаря активному использованию централизованных и децентрализованных сервисов. 🔹 По данным Chainalysis, глобальное принятие криптовалют растёт за счёт институционального интереса, появления регулируемых инструментов и активности в странах с ограниченным доступом к традиционным финансам.

Asia Emerges as a Hotspot for Violent Crypto Crime: Chainalysis According to the latest mid-year report from #Chainalysis , Asia is emerging as the epicenter of a wave of cryptocurrency-related crime, with record digital thefts and a troubling rise in violence targeting crypto holders. The Asia-Pacific region now ranks second in Bitcoin theft incidents. State-sponsored hacks and "keylog attacks" Asia's crypto crime ecosystem is a complex web where North Korean hackers carry out thefts worth billions of USD, organized crime gangs kidnap executives for ransom, and local financial platforms become unwitting money laundering tools. The Bybit hack of 1.5 billion USD linked to North Korea is the largest crypto theft ever. The report also points out that "keylog attacks" (physical violence to access crypto assets) are increasing alongside Bitcoin price volatility. The murder of Chinese-Philippine steel tycoon Anson Que, where kidnappers demanded a ransom of 3.5 million USD in crypto, is a prominent example showing the overlap between crypto crime and violence. Nevertheless, Chainalysis emphasizes that the immutability of blockchain can be a powerful tool for seeking justice. #Asia {future}(BTCUSDT) {spot}(BNBUSDT)
