In the first half of 2025, hackers stole $2.1 billion from the crypto industry, reports TRM Labs. More than 80% of the losses are related to infrastructure attacks — in particular, the theft of private keys, seed phrases, as well as the substitution of dApps and wallet interfaces. The main methods included social engineering, phishing, and insider participation.
TRM Labs notes that major hacks have become more targeted and technically sophisticated. At the same time, the number of attacks has decreased compared to 2024, but the average damage has increased, indicating a rise in the professionalism of criminals.
