NORTH KOREA STOLE $2 BILLION! 💸 YOUR WALLET COULD BE FUNDING A NUCLEAR PROGRAM ☢️
$ETH , $BTC

A chilling report from Chainalysis reveals that North Korean state-sponsored hackers (Lazarus Group) stole a record $2 billion in 2025. These hackers accounted for nearly 60% of all crypto theft last year, turning individual wallets into the frontline of a global cyberwar.

Hacking mechanics have evolved into "Social Engineering 2.0". Operatives are infiltrating crypto companies by getting hired as remote IT workers and planting backdoors. This shift highlights human resources vulnerabilities rather than just code flaws. Stolen funds are then laundered through cross-chain bridges and mixers.

Expect a massive crackdown on privacy coins and non-KYC exchanges in Q1 2026. Projects without doxxed teams will likely be treated as high-risk by institutions. This creates a "guilty until proven innocent" environment that could stifle anonymous innovation.

Regulators are demanding bans on mixers like Tornado Cash and strict KYC for developers. New OFAC sanctions and potential ID verification requirements on platforms like GitHub are looming.

The industry must decide if it will sacrifice decentralization to stop the funding of nuclear programs.

$2 Billion stolen by one country. Should crypto platforms require KYC for developers to stop insider hacks?

🅰️ UPD: Paris Crypto Attacks — #Chainalysis says criminals still think Bitcoin is untraceable

🟠Paris is becoming a crypto warzone this May. First, a €7.8M ransom kidnapping. Then, Paymium CEO’s daughter and grandson fought off armed attackers in broad daylight. And now, Chainalysis CEO Jonathan Levin drops the truth: these gangs are stuck in 2017.

🟠Speaking at Consensus 2025, Levin said it bluntly: crypto ain’t anonymous anymore. But old-school criminals still think they can launder $BTC like cash. Reality? Those onchain breadcrumbs are leading cops straight to their doors — and yes, sometimes even with asset recovery.

🟠Funny? Maybe. Sad? Definitely. Levin warns this “#bitcoin = cash” delusion is why gangs are grabbing guns and going full wrench attack on crypto whales — blind to the fact that blockchain forensics is two steps ahead.

🟠Worse? It’s a global trend now. Levin confirmed it’s not just France. Vegas, Spain, across Europe — same playbook. And while law enforcement is getting sharper, crypto influencers keep flexing Lambos and NFTs like it’s bull run season.

🤑 Bottom line? #blockchain will expose them. But a gun in your face still moves faster. Stop living in 2017. Upgrade your OPSEC. Stop flexing your bags. And accept that in 2025, paranoia is your best wallet.

Chainalysis: Crypto Crime May Hit $4B+ in 2025

Chainalysis' mid-year review shows over $2.17B stolen from centralized platforms and wallets by June 2025. This puts the industry on track to exceed $4B in thefts by year’s end.

Notably, ~$8.5B in stolen funds remain unlaundered—sitting idle in blacklisted wallets, likely waiting for low-liquidity bridges or decentralized mixing. A disturbing new trend: wrench attacks, where physical coercion is used to access private keys, rose 240% YoY, mostly in LATAM and Eastern Europe.

Governments are pushing for mandatory reporting of custodial wallet thefts, while new startups are offering “wallet insurance” with varying levels of coverage.

Reminder: Consider multisig, biometric key backups, and geo-locking for large personal wallets.

SPECIAL REPORT: Russia Developing Shadow Crypto Network to Evade Sanctions
New York, NY – December 12, 2025 – 04:35 AM EST
A recent report by blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis indicates that Russia is actively building an elaborate, covert cryptocurrency trading network specifically designed to circumvent international financial sanctions.
$ETH

This emerging shadow crypto network reportedly involves a complex ecosystem of participants and platforms. Key components include numerous Over-The-Counter ($OTC$) traders, who facilitate large-volume, off-exchange transactions, and sanctioned exchanges such as Garantex.
$DEGO

The report also highlights the use of novel financial instruments, including Ruble-pegged stablecoins—like one identified with the ticker A7A5. These assets are critical for enabling transactions while attempting to mask the origin and destination of funds, thereby preserving anonymity and bypassing detection.
$DEXE

This effort underscores the persistent challenge faced by global regulators in imposing financial restrictions on nations capable of leveraging decentralized technologies. It demonstrates Russia's strategic commitment to using innovative digital tools to maintain access to the global economy outside of traditional, sanctioned financial channels.

🔐 $3.4B THEFT: THE CATALYST FOR CRYPTO'S NEXT WAVE

A hard number just dropped: $3.4B stolen in 2025 (Chainalysis).

But the real story isn’t the loss—it's the $50B+ security infrastructure wave about to begin.

Here’s why smart money isn’t panicking:

· Scale signals adoption.

This much theft means there’s far more value secured on-chain than ever before.

· Institutions won't enter until security is solved—creating the single biggest funded catalyst for the next cycle.

· Solutions will outperform speculation. The projects fixing this will define the next era of crypto.

This is crypto’s "https moment."
The early internet wasn’t halted by hacking—it was secured by it.

Where to look next:

· On-chain intelligence & forensics

· Decentralized custody & recovery

· Insurance and risk-markets

· Projects that make user security invisible

The bottom line:

The next 100x narrative isn’t about a meme.

It’s about building the vault.

Are you focused on the threat, or the solution?

Asia Emerges as a Hotspot for Violent Crypto Crime: Chainalysis

According to the latest mid-year report from #Chainalysis , Asia is emerging as the epicenter of a wave of cryptocurrency-related crime, with record digital thefts and a troubling rise in violence targeting crypto holders. The Asia-Pacific region now ranks second in Bitcoin theft incidents.

State-sponsored hacks and "keylog attacks"

Asia's crypto crime ecosystem is a complex web where North Korean hackers carry out thefts worth billions of USD, organized crime gangs kidnap executives for ransom, and local financial platforms become unwitting money laundering tools. The Bybit hack of 1.5 billion USD linked to North Korea is the largest crypto theft ever.
The report also points out that "keylog attacks" (physical violence to access crypto assets) are increasing alongside Bitcoin price volatility. The murder of Chinese-Philippine steel tycoon Anson Que, where kidnappers demanded a ransom of 3.5 million USD in crypto, is a prominent example showing the overlap between crypto crime and violence. Nevertheless, Chainalysis emphasizes that the immutability of blockchain can be a powerful tool for seeking justice. #Asia

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon Calls for Crypto Industry Shutdown. 🪙🤯🤥

During the annual banking oversight hearing, JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon expressed his desire to "close down" the entire crypto industry.*

CEOs from major banks, including Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, and BNY Mellon, joined Dimon to discuss the effectiveness of the banking industry in serving Americans.

Senator Elizabeth Warren, a vocal critic of the banking industry, found common ground with Dimon on the topic of cryptocurrencies, citing their use in illicit transactions and funding dangerous criminal activities.

Warren referred to a Chainalysis report estimating over $23 billion in cryptocurrency laundering in 2022, though a mid-year report in July 2023 showed a 65% decrease in illicit crypto activities.

Dimon acknowledged the association of crypto with criminal activities, citing anonymity and instant money transfer as attractive features for criminals.

Despite Dimon's strong stance against crypto, JPMorgan has ventured into the blockchain space with initiatives like the corporate stablecoin, JPM Coin, and the blockchain platform, Onyx.

Warren questioned all witnesses, including Dimon, about the need for crypto companies to adhere to the same anti-money laundering rules as traditional banks.

All eight banking representatives, including Dimon, unanimously agreed that crypto companies facilitating financial transactions should follow anti-money laundering rules.
