Crypto Hacks 2025: CertiK Reports $3.3B Lost as Fewer, More Sophisticated Supply-Chain Exploits Dominate

According to @CoinMarketCap, $3.3 billion was lost to crypto hacks in 2025 even as the total number of attacks fell, with losses concentrated in fewer, more sophisticated supply-chain exploits per CertiK (source: CoinMarketCap post on Dec 23, 2025 citing CertiK).
