Crypto Phishing Losses Crash By 83% In 2025 – Details

Crypto phishing losses plummeted by 83% in 2025, falling from $494 million to $83.85 million, with victim count dropping 68% to 106,106. Despite the decline, Web3 security firm Scam Sniffer warns this does not indicate reduced threat levels, as losses correlated with market activity—peaking in Q3 during high user engagement. A new threat emerged with EIP-7702 exploits, enabling bundled malicious transactions via account abstraction. Permit/Permit2 signatures remained the leading attack method, responsible for 38% of large-case losses. Major incidents included a $1.46 billion breach by the Lazarus group. While reported losses fell, attackers may be shifting to harder-to-track methods like private key theft or targeted social engineering.

Solana 2025 Report Card: Annual Revenue of $1.5 Billion, Surpassing the Combined Total of 'Hyperliquid + Ethereum'

Solana's 2025 Performance: A Record-Breaking Year with $1.5B in Revenue In 2025, Solana emerged as the top-performing blockchain network, generating a total revenue of $1.5 billion, surpassing the combined revenue of Hyperliquid and Ethereum. According to Nansen, its on-chain fee income alone reached $603 million, exceeding that of Tron and Ethereum and securing its position as the leader in public blockchain earnings. Key metrics underscored Solana's dominance: it recorded over 10.5 billion active addresses and approximately 23.01 billion transactions, both figures leading all major blockchains. Its on-chain spot trading volume hit $1.6 trillion, surpassing all centralized exchanges except Binance, indicating a significant shift of crypto activity to on-chain platforms. Solana's revenue structure is composed of four main components: base fees (burned for deflation), priority fees (paid to validators), MEV-related income, and minor sources like storage fees. This efficient model supports high transaction volumes while maintaining a median fee below $0.01. The report highlights that public chains, Perp DEXs (like Hyperliquid with $908M revenue), and launchpads (like Pump.fun with $549M revenue) remain the most profitable crypto sectors, second only to stablecoins. Solana's growth is attributed to its scalability, low costs, and vibrant ecosystem, including meme coin trends and DeFi innovations.

BitMine Stakes $259M ETH as Validator Queue Nears 1M Ether

BitMine Immersion Technologies staked an additional 82,560 ETH (worth $259 million), bringing its total staked Ether to 544,064 ETH ($1.62 billion). This move has pushed Ethereum’s validator entry queue close to 977,000 ETH, with an estimated 17-day wait time for new validators. In contrast, exit activity remains low, reflecting strong institutional confidence in staking yields rather than liquidity. Over 29% of all ETH is now staked, with an annualized return of 2.54%. BitMine’s strategy aligns with its plan to build its own staking infrastructure, and Chairman Tom Lee supports expanding the company’s share structure to accommodate potential future growth.

"South Korea's Buffett" Plans to Acquire Korbit, Will South Korea's Fourth Largest Exchange Stage a Comeback?

South Korean financial giant Mirae Asset Group, led by chairman Park Hyeon-joo (known as the "Korean Buffett"), is in the process of acquiring a majority stake in Korbit, the country’s fourth-largest cryptocurrency exchange. The deal, valued between 70 million and 100 million USD, involves shares held by major stakeholders NXC (60.5%) and SK Planet (31.5%). Korbit, one of Korea’s earliest crypto exchanges, has seen its market share shrink to less than 1%, far behind dominant players Upbit and Bithumb. Despite a return to profitability in 2024, the exchange has faced years of losses and regulatory penalties, including a recent fine for compliance violations. The acquisition is seen as a strategic move by Mirae Asset to enter the digital asset space amid tightening regulations and intense competition. If completed, the deal could signal greater integration between traditional finance and crypto in Korea, though regulatory hurdles and market dominance by larger exchanges remain significant challenges.

Crypto Hack Losses Fell 60% In December, New Data Shows

According to PeckShield, losses from crypto hacks dropped by approximately 60% in December, falling to around $76 million from $194 million in November. This decline was attributed to fewer large-scale exploits, though significant incidents still occurred. The month saw roughly 26 major attacks, with the largest being a $50 million address poisoning scam. Other notable losses included a $27 million multi-signature wallet breach due to a private key leak, a $7 million Trust Wallet exploit, and a $3.9 million issue involving the Flow protocol. Despite the overall reduction, experts caution that threats like scams and technical vulnerabilities persist, with human error remaining a major risk factor.

Bitcoin ETFs Record $4.57 Billion Outflows in Final Two Months of 2025

Bitcoin ETFs began 2025 with strong inflows, reaching $6.02 billion by July. However, the trend reversed sharply in the final two months of the year, with record outflows totaling $4.57 billion in November and December. This shift coincided with a 29.19% drop in Bitcoin's price from its October all-time high. Concurrently, investor interest diversified into new altcoin ETFs, with XRP and Solana ETFs attracting net inflows of $1.17 billion and $567 million, respectively. While this indicates a more selective market, some experts anticipate a strong Bitcoin recovery in 2026.
