Crypto Is Rising — But So Are Robberies

Some people are getting hurt just for holding crypto.

In 2025, there have already been 22 violent attacks on crypto holders. Criminals are no longer just hackers — now they’re using guns, kidnapping, and threats to steal Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other coins.

Here are some scary examples:

Be careful. Protect yourself.

Don’t share your wallet or crypto on social media.

Use strong passwords and cold wallets.

Stay private about your crypto life.

Crypto is powerful—but now, safety is more important than ever
