📈 Surge in Illegal Cryptocurrency Activities in 2025: TRM Report Reveals Shocking Data
According to the latest report from TRM Labs, there was a significant rebound in illegal cryptocurrency inflows in 2025, reaching an astonishing $158 billion after four consecutive years of decline. In comparison, the figure for 2024 was only $64.5 billion.
Key Data Overview:
Reversed Trend: Illegal fund inflows dropped from $85.9 billion in 2021 to a low of $64.5 billion in 2024, but the explosion in 2025 broke this long-standing downward trend. "Mega Hacker" Era: Although the number of hacking incidents (around 150) did not significantly increase, their destructive power was immense. Total losses for the year reached $2.87 billion. Typical Case: The attack on Bybit in February alone resulted in a loss of approximately $1.46 billion, accounting for nearly half of the total losses for the year. Scams Rampant: In 2025, wallets associated with scams globally received about $35 billion in funds.
What Does This Mean for Us?
The surge in illegal activities may trigger more stringent scrutiny from global regulators. In the crypto market, asset security is always the top priority.
🛡 Security Reminder:
2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) must be enabled. Strictly verify addresses before transferring. Be wary of high-yield promises and stay away from various scam tactics (remember the lesson of that $35 billion!).
