[Over 60 'Wrench' Attacks on Cryptocurrency Holders Expected in 2025] According to The Block, Ari Redbord, Head of Global Policy and Government Affairs at crypto analytics firm TRM Labs, stated that 2025 is set to be a record-breaking year for 'wrench' attacks, with approximately 60 physical attacks targeting cryptocurrency holders. Ari Redbord added, 'The actual number could be much higher. Many cases are only recorded as robberies or burglaries, overlooking the cryptocurrency factor; and some cases are never reported due to victims' hesitation or uncertainty about how law enforcement would handle crimes related to cryptocurrency. In comparison, there were approximately 41 recorded wrench attacks in 2024 and about 36 in 2021.'
