  • IC3 logged 181,565 crypto complaints in 2025 with reported losses above $11 billion
  • Crypto investment fraud accounted for more than $7.2 billion in reported losses
  • TRM Labs tied roughly $643 million in H1 2026 thefts to North Korea-linked actors
  • Chainalysis: sanctioned entities received about $104 billion in crypto in 2025, up 694%
Why it matters: Rising losses and North Korean activity increase pressure on exchanges and regulators over compliance and tracing.
