Crypto Thefts Surge Globally in 2025, May Top $4 Billion

A mid-year report by Chainalysis reveals a troubling trend in the cryptocurrency world—crypto thefts in 2025 are already 17% higher than those by mid-2022, previously the worst year on record. If this trend persists, total losses could surpass $4 billion by year’s end.

The report highlights that countries including the U.S., Germany, Russia, Canada, Japan, Indonesia, and South Korea experienced the highest number of incidents.

In India, a major hack occurred shortly after the report's release. On July 19, CoinDCX, a leading Indian crypto exchange, reported a breach resulting in losses of approximately $44 million. Co-founders Sumit Gupta and Neeraj Khandelwal assured users that internal reserves will be used to cover the losses.
