Threat Score
CertiK reports a 33% year-over-year increase in "wrench" attacks—physical coercion to steal cryptocurrency—recording 52 incidents through June 2026 and $124 million in reported losses; incidents include kidnappings, home invasions and threats to associates, are likely undercounted, and are exacerbated by self-custody practices that leave victims without intermediaries to halt transactions.
