🏴‍☠️ Finbold report: crypto hackers stole USD 2.78 billion in 2025

The statistics were compiled from verified sources, including blockchain data analytics platforms (such as Arkham Intelligence, SlowMist), cryptocurrency market aggregators (such as CoinMarketCap), exchange reports, and official statements from regulatory authorities.

🔣 The risk profile of 2025 was shaped by the breach of Bybit’s system, an incident that accounted for more than half of all stolen cryptocurrency funds.

🔣 This case demonstrates that within the digital asset ecosystem, key storage and management remain a critical vulnerability. Despite improvements in smart contract security across many protocols, centralized wallet infrastructure continues to pose systemic risk when protective measures fail.

🔣 Other major loss cases include Cetus Protocol, Balancer V2, LIBRA, and Nobitex. Causes range from contract vulnerabilities and logical flaws to operational failures and security breaches.

🔣 Quarterly data show that losses from hacking incidents in 2025 were concentrated at the beginning of the year (1.78 billion USD), followed by a gradual decline: 465 million USD in the second quarter, just over 300 million USD in the third quarter, and 230 million USD in the fourth quarter. The slowdown in the final quarter indicates improved security discipline.

🔣 Data leaks related to digital wallets proved to be the most damaging.

🔣 Finbold’s analysis indicates that 2025 was less a year of escalating cybercrime and more a period of adaptation, in which initial shocks were followed by tighter controls and a reduced frequency of exploits.
