Crypto investors have suffered losses exceeding $16 million due to a 54% increase in physical attacks this year, according to DL News. Data from a crime tracker by Bitcoin developer Jameson Lopp highlights 2025 as the worst year for such incidents, with TRM Labs corroborating the rise in kidnappings, home invasions, and severe assaults globally, including in countries like Brazil, France, and Canada.
Ari Redbord from TRM Labs attributes the surge to the visibility of crypto wealth, making successful investors prime targets. Despite the alarming trend, a Chainalysis spokesperson suggests that the introduction of crypto ETFs and enhanced law enforcement could mitigate these risks.
