PANews reported on January 13 that, according to PAShield monitoring, cryptocurrency-related thefts are expected to reach a record high in 2025, primarily driven by systemic vulnerabilities in centralized infrastructure and a strategic shift towards targeted social engineering attacks.

Total losses in 2025 exceeded $4.04 billion, an increase of approximately 34.2% compared to the $3.01 billion stolen in 2024. This includes $2.67 billion in losses from hacking attacks (an increase of approximately 24.2% year-over-year) and $1.37 billion in losses from fraud (an increase of approximately 64.2% year-over-year). Of this, approximately $334.9 million of stolen cryptocurrency has been recovered or frozen, compared to $488.5 million in 2024.
