Loss of $ 2.2 billion through hacks and frauds in the crypto area in the first half of 2025
In the first half of 2025, crypto investors suffered a loss of $ 2.2 billion through hacks and frauds. These alarming numbers were published by a current report by Certik, a company that specializes in the security check of blockchain projects.
According to the analysis, the threat landscape in the crypto sector has changed significantly. Criminal actors have adapted their methods to take advantage of security gaps and steal crypto-assets. This has led to an increase in hacks and frauds that affect not only individuals, but also large crypto platforms.
Despite the enormous losses, there was positive news: $ 187 million from the $ 2.2 billion lost from the total of $ 2.2 billion could be recovered from tractions and recovery tactics. These recovery show that there are opportunities to get stolen funds back in certain cases, even if the overall risk for crypto investors is still high.
Developments illustrate the need for investors to deal more intensively with the security of their digital assets and take suitable measures in order to protect themselves from potential threats.
Since the crypto world is constantly changing, investors must remain vigilant and find out about current security strategies to secure their investments and minimize the risk of losses.
