📝 A report by Global Ledger reveals $3.01B was stolen in 119 crypto hacks in H1 2025, surpassing all of 2024!
The real shock: laundering speed. Attackers now clean stolen funds within minutes, often before hacks are even disclosed. 🙀
📊 Key stats:
▪️31.1% laundered within 24h
▪️22.7% fully laundered before public disclosure
▪️Only 4.2% of stolen funds recovered
CEXs remain the weak link, facilitating 15.1% of laundering while handling 54.26% of total losses. Compliance teams often have mere 10–15 minutes to react. 🤷
