$2.5B Vanished: Crypto’s H1 2025 Hack & Scam Bloodbath—Certik Sounds Alarm

Crypto's wild west era isn't over—it's just getting expensive. Certik's latest report drops a grenade: $2.5 billion evaporated in just six months. Here's the breakdown.
Hacks vs. Scams: The Great Heist
Protocol exploits? Rug pulls? Doesn't matter—the result's the same. Money's gone, and the 'code is law' crowd just got a $2.5 billion reality check.
DeFi's Dark Side
Decentralization cuts both ways. No central bank to reverse transactions means stolen funds vanish faster than a Bitcoin maximalist's patience during a bear market.
The Irony of 'Transparency'
Blockchains broadcast every transaction—except the one where your life savings exit stage left. Maybe next time hedge funds will stick to overpriced NFTs instead.
