Dear journalists,
Key Findings from H1 2025:
· $2.24 billion stolen in crypto hacks, driven by major incidents at Bybit ($1.5B), Cetus Protocol ($230M), and LIBRA ($100M). However, Q2 saw a significant drop in hack volume compared to Q1.
· President Donald Trump’s crypto holdings plunged 78%, falling from $10.16 million on January 1 to $2.2 million by June 30.
· Trump’s family DeFi platform World Liberty Financial rose 59% (from $72.8M to $175.1M).
· BlackRock’s crypto portfolio surged by $23.91 billion (from $54.77B to $78.67B), a 30% gain—led by Bitcoin and Ethereum holdings.
· Bitcoin millionaire addresses increased by 26,758 in H1, including a 5,963-address rise since President Trump’s return on January 21.
· XRP active addresses decreased by 12,708, amid the ongoing Ripple v. SEC case.
· Bitcoin ATMs saw global growth with over 1,000 installations, with the U.S. still leading at over 30,000, though growth was modest (+328) relative to international trends.
“Crypto in H1 2025 was defined by contrast,” said Jordan Major and Diana Paluteder, co-authors of the report. “Bitcoin hit a yearly high in May, fueling a surge in millionaire addresses and contributing to BlackRock’s $23.9 billion portfolio growth. At the same time, the sector remained vulnerable, with over $2.2 billion lost to hacks. Despite growing infrastructure like ATM expansion, security gaps continue to challenge the industry’s stability.”
Best regards,
