The security landscape in crypto has deteriorated sharply this year. Data trackers are logging a staggering $9.15B in cumulative losses and recoveries across 2025. What's alarming? By the halfway point, stolen funds alone already hit $3B+—already eclipsing the entire 2024 total. Numbers fluctuate depending on how recovery is measured and classified, but the pattern is unmistakable: security incidents are accelerating. The Rekt Database breakdown shows no signs of slowing down. This serves as a brutal reminder that due diligence on platform security and personal wallet practices isn't optional—it's essential.
