France is seeing a violent spike in crypto wrench attacks — 41 kidnappings already in 2026, averaging one every 2.5 days.

For context: only ~20 total cases from 2023-2025. That's exponential growth in physical threats targeting crypto holders.

This isn't just OpSec failure anymore. It's a systemic risk when you're holding non-custodial wealth in jurisdictions with rising desperation.

If you're in Europe and sitting on serious bags:

- Don't flex holdings publicly

- Use multisig/cold storage splits

- Consider jurisdictional diversification

The wrench attack meta is real. Stay safe out there 🔐
