TRM Labs: losses from cryptocurrency exploits will reach $ 2.1 billion this year

In the first half of 2025, losses from cryptocurrency attacks could reach $ 2.1 billion, according to analytical company TRM Labs. Infrastructure attacks account for more than 80% of these losses, causing the largest financial losses among 75 recorded incidents with crypto assets this year.

Infrastructure attacks usually involve compromised private keys and hacked user interfaces. They affect wallets, smart contracts, and front-end systems of various blockchains, leading to significant losses and market destabilization. According to TRM Labs, in 2025, such attacks will prevail over other methods of fraud, and attackers often steal 10 times more money using these methods.

Despite experts' concerns about infrastructure security, industry leaders have not yet commented publicly on the report. This reticence may indicate a need for more open communication and strategies to respond to threats.
