According to CertiK's analysis, wrench attacks surged in 2025, with 72 confirmed cases, a 75% increase from the previous year. Economic losses exceeded $40.9 million, a 44% increase, but experts believe this figure may be far lower than the actual impact due to unreported incidents and confidential settlements. Europe was the hardest hit, accounting for over 40% of global incidents, with France having the highest number of cases. Violence also intensified, with physical assaults surging by 250%. Notable examples include high-profile kidnappings targeting cryptocurrency holders (such as entrepreneurs and their families) in France, Austria, and the UAE. (Crowdfundinsider)
