As a crypto analyst grounded in quantitative finance, I’ve tracked the data—2025’s first half saw $2.1B lost to attacks, with over 80% tied to infrastructure flaws, not smart contracts or wallet exploits alone. This wasn’t random noise—it was systemic. Private key exposure via frontend attack vectors rose sharply, and the patterns were predictable if you watched the right nodes. I’m not surprised. The market doesn’t lie—but the silence around it does.
