Chainalysis found cryptocurrency thefts rose 21% to $2.2 billion in the year, with North Korea-linked groups responsible for 61% ($1.34 billion) of 2024 thefts across 47 incidents; the report calls out major centralized exchange breaches (e.g., DMM Bitcoin, WazirX), a mid-year shift from DeFi to centralized targets, and suggests geopolitical factors (North Korea–Russia ties) influenced attack frequency and tactics.
