🔐 Violent crypto theft surpasses $30M in H1 2026

Physical attacks targeting crypto holders — including home invasions, kidnappings, and assaults on relatives — have caused over $30 million in losses in the first half of 2026, according to Chainalysis data.

The figure already exceeds half of 2025's full-year record of $58 million, suggesting the annual total could surpass last year's peak. France has emerged as the country with the highest number of publicly known incidents, a shift from previous reporting periods.
