Crypto’s 2025: Hacks, Scams, and a Bitcoin Retirement Fund Gone 🐷🪓

CertiK, the industry’s oracle of doom, later confirmed that supply-chain attacks were the year’s most destructive force, siphoning $1.45 billion in just two incidents. Bybit, ever the optimist, promised full asset backing and launched a bounty program so grand it could rival a Hollywood blockbuster. 🕵️♂️🎬 Yet, the damage was done-exchanges now eye their infrastructure with the same paranoia one reserves for a suspicious neighbor. 🕵️♀️🔍
