TRM Labs reports that illicit cryptocurrency flows surged to a record $158 billion in 2025 driven by sanctions-linked activity, expanded nation-state use (notably Russia, Iran, Venezuela), improved attribution, and evolving laundering techniques; the year included $2.87B in losses from 150 hacks (the largest being a ~ $1.46B Bybit theft attributed to North Korean actors), roughly $35B lost to scams, and sustained ransomware-related inflows amid increased cross-chain laundering and ecosystem fragmentation.
