Techub News reported, according to Cointelegraph, Chainalysis's annual report shows that the total number of data breach incidents in 2025 approached 8,000, a 50% increase from 2024. However, the total on-chain ransom amount was $820 million, an 8% decrease from 2024. Chainalysis stated that increased regulatory scrutiny, law enforcement actions targeting money laundering network infrastructure, and the widespread refusal of large companies or organizations to pay ransoms all contributed to the overall decline in ransom payments in 2025, prompting attackers to shift their focus to smaller targets.
Techub News reports that Chainalysis has released a cryptocurrency crime report. The report shows that in 2025, illicit cryptocurrency addresses received at least $154 billion, a year-on-year increase of 162%, primarily driven by a 694% growth in activities by sanctioned entities. Illicit transactions still account for less than 1% of all crypto transaction volume, but stablecoins now constitute 84% of the total illicit transaction volume. Furthermore, in 2025, North Korea-linked hackers stole $2 billion, with the Bybit exploit in February resulting in nearly $1.5 billion in losses, marking the largest heist in crypto history. The ruble-backed token A7A5, launched by Russia in February 2025, achieved a trading volume exceeding $93.3 billion in less than a year. Iranian proxy networks facilitated over $2 billion in on-chain money laundering, illicit oil sales, and arms procurement.
Techub News reports, Chainalysis pointed out in the "2025 Cryptocurrency Adoption Index Report" that from July 2024 to June 2025, Bitcoin attracted over $1.2 trillion in fiat currency, solidifying its position as the preferred asset for fiat entry into the crypto market. Ethereum attracted approximately $724 billion during the same period, while Layer 1 public chain tokens and stablecoins attracted $564 billion and $497 billion respectively, ranking third and fourth.
Techub News reports, according to The Block, Chainalysis stated that hackers linked to North Korea stole over $2.17 billion in cryptocurrency in the first half of 2025, surpassing the total for the entire year of 2024 and setting a new all-time annual record. Andrew Fierman, Head of National Security Intelligence at Chainalysis, pointed out that relying solely on sanctions is far from sufficient, and coordinated action across the entire industry is needed to combat North Korea's increasingly sophisticated hacking and money laundering ecosystem.
Techub News reports, citing CryptoBriefing, that the EU has imposed sanctions on Hamas leaders and Israeli settler organizations, with the measures approved after Hungary lifted its veto. Those sanctioned face asset freezes and travel bans. Cryptocurrency exchanges and stablecoin issuers operating in Europe must screen relevant wallets in accordance with the law and strengthen compliance reviews. Since 2020, Hamas has raised over $150 million through cryptocurrencies, primarily using USDT for cross-border fund transfers. The sanctions require crypto platforms to enhance customer due diligence and transaction monitoring, which may increase demand for compliance technology companies such as Chainalysis, but could also drive some users toward decentralized protocols to evade scrutiny.
Techub News, according to crypto.news, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent stated that the United States has seized nearly $500 million in Iranian cryptocurrency assets through "Operation Economic Fury," including $344 million in Tether frozen on April 23. He noted that the Iranian currency has depreciated by 60% to 70% and is in the midst of a currency crisis. The operation was ordered by President Trump in March 2025, aiming to systematically cut off Iran's financial channels. Tether froze two Tron addresses at the request of the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control, and Chainalysis confirmed that the relevant wallets are linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guard and central bank intermediary addresses. Bessent warned that the sanctions would prevent Iran from paying for military expenses or funding its proxy networks.
Techub News reports, according to CoinDesk, Chainalysis stated that North Korea-linked hackers stole approximately $2 billion in crypto assets in 2025, a 51% increase from 2024, bringing the total stolen amount to $6.75 billion. Additionally, individual wallet thefts accounted for only 20% of the total stolen amount in 2025, down from 44% last year. Although the number of such incidents surged to 158,000, the amount stolen per victim decreased by 52%, to $713 million. The report points out that unlike other cybercriminals, North Korean cybercrime groups primarily target large centralized crypto services, pursuing maximum impact rather than attack frequency. Criminals linked to North Korea were responsible for 76% of service-level security breaches in 2025, a record high. Furthermore, their money laundering methods are also quite notable. While other hackers tend to disperse stolen funds through large on-chain transfers, North Korean hackers consistently operate with small transactions under $500,000.
