Crypto wrench attacks steal $30M in first half of 2026: Chainalysis

Violent attacks against crypto holders extracted more than $30 million worldwide through late June 2026, according to an Aug. 6 report.　　The firm documented 46 kidnappings, home invasions, hostage situations and related attempts, compared with 40 during the same period in 2025.　　The total places 2026 on pace to challenge the record $58 million stolen during 2025. However, Chainalysis said its figures cover reported cases and likely undercount the true scale. Attempted extractions, including blocked transfers, unpaid ransom demands and recovered funds, reached an estimated $107 million during the first half.　　Crypto wrench attacks put 2026 on record pace　　Only 12 of the 46 documented attempts resulted in payment, producing a 26% success rate. That was down from 49% in 2025 and 67% in 2024, even as the number of known attacks increased.　　Chainalysis said 2026 “could become the single-worst year” for violent crypto theft if the first-half pace continues.　　The projection is conditional rather than a confirmed year-end outcome. The report covers known cases through late June, and both reporting rates and the size of individual thefts can change sharply during the second half.　　The attack mix also changed. Home invasions represented 37% of incidents, up from 14% in 2025. Kidnappings accounted for 52%. Chainalysis said

Blockchain.com obtains Cayman VASP licence after conditional approval

Blockchain.com has secured a definitive Virtual Asset Service Provider custody licence from the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority, expanding its regulated crypto services after meeting all licensing conditions on July 22.　　According to a Thursday announcement from Blockchain.com, the approval grants the company a full Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) custody services licence through its Cayman Islands subsidiary, replacing the conditional approval issued by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA) in December 2025. The company said it had satisfied all of the regulators conditions before receiving the definitive licence.　　Alongside custody services, the licence authorizes Blockchain.com to offer exchanges between virtual assets and fiat currencies as well as exchanges between one or more convertible virtual assets. Before obtaining the licence, the company had operated under a VASP registration in the Cayman Islands since May 2022.　　The latest approval adds to a series of regulatory milestones for Blockchain.com over the past year. The company recently obtained a Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) licence in Europe and completed registration with the UK Financial Conduct Authority, developments that co-CEO Lane Kasselman said strengthen its regulated presence across multiple jurisdictions.　　Blockchain.com expands regulated services in the Cayman Islands　　With the definitive licence now in place, Blockchain.com said it can offer a

Coldcard hackers transfer 64 BTC and 200 ETH to cryptocurrency mixers

About 64 Bitcoin, worth $4.17 million, and 200 Ether, worth $380,000, linked to the recent Coldcard exploit were sent to cryptocurrency mixing protocols, according to blockchain security platform CertiK.　　The Bitcoin transfer was from address bc1q0 to crypto mixing protocol Wasabi on Tuesday, according to blockchain data shared by CertiK.　　“We think it might be a smaller exploiter. There‘s likely a few copycats after the initial exploit,” a CertiK spokesperson told Cointelegraph. The 200 Ether (ETH) was transferred to Tornado Cash on Wednesday, according to CertiK’s X post.　　Crypto mixing protocols such as Tornado Cash typically pool and then scramble the cryptocurrency from multiple users, breaking the publicly traceable onchain link between senders and recipients. This makes it difficult to trace the stolen funds, decreasing the chances of asset recovery.　　In April, the hacker behind a $293 million Kelp DAO hack laundered about 75,700 Ether, then worth $175 million, primarily through THORChain, generating about $910,000 in fee revenue for the protocol. The attacker also used the Umbra privacy protocol.　　The Coldcard exploit has now become the third-largest cryptocurrency hack so far in 2026. It drained at least $100 million in Bitcoin across three confirmed attack waves from 7,300 victim wallets, according to Galaxy Digital. The

More than $30 million stolen in violent crypto attacks in 2026 as France emerges as 'wrench attack' hotspot: Chainalysis

Quick TakeViolent criminals have robbed crypto holders of more than $30 million through mid-2026, putting the year on pace to surpass 2025s record $58 million, per Chainalysis.The blockchain analytics firm said France has emerged as the epicenter following a compromise of French tax-agency records that widened the pool of targetable holders.　　Violent criminals have stolen more than $30 million in cryptocurrency from holders through the first half of 2026, putting the year on track to become the worst on record for physical attacks on crypto owners, Chainalysis said Thursday.　　The figure counts only successful thefts and cases where a victim gave up funds. Figures provided by the blockchain analytics firm noted that this year trails 2025s full-year record of $58 million but notably arrives at mid-year.　　Chainalysis warned the pattern would surpass that total if it holds through the second half.　　Counting attempts as well as completed thefts — ransoms demanded, coerced transfers that were blocked, and funds later frozen or recovered — the totals run far higher, at roughly $316 million in 2024, $180 million in 2025, and $107 million so far in 2026, according to the firm.　　Chainalysis called even those figures a likely undercount, since they capture only reported attacks.　　The attacks, known
