Masked assailants targeted a crypto executive’s family in Paris this week, marking the sixth such attack in France this year. The incident follows a global pattern of violence tied to digital asset wealth.

Four attackers ambushed the victims NEAR the 11th arrondissement, with three emerging from a van to forcibly restrain the woman and child. The confrontation turned physical when the woman’s partner intervened during the attempted abduction.

GitHub data reveals an alarming trend: physical assaults against crypto personalities have surged across three continents. Recent cases include mutilations in South America, ransom kidnappings in Asia, and now coordinated attacks in Western Europe.
