Violence targeting crypto owners rising, spreading to physical threats - Chainalysis report
Blockchain data platform Chainalysis said violence targeting cryptocurrency owners is increasing and expanding beyond online crime to physical threats such as kidnapping and home invasions. Its report said more than $30 million was stolen worldwide in the first half of 2026 through so-called wrench attacks, exceeding about 42 billion won. If the trend continues, annual losses could surpass the 2025 record of $58 million.
