Is crypto still secure in 2025?

Crypto security has evolved rapidly, yet headlines around exploits and bridge hacks continue to surface. So what’s changed — and how can capital stay protected in 2024 and beyond?

Top Threats to Be Aware Of

• Smart contract exploits — often due to unaudited code or poor architecture
• Bridge vulnerabilities — cross-chain protocols remain a prime attack vector
• Phishing and social engineering — still the easiest way to bypass security
• Custodial risk — trusting third parties with private keys introduces fragility

How Users and Institutions Can Protect Themselves

• Use audited protocols with strong track records
• Keep critical funds in cold storage
• Verify links and wallet access requests manually
• Monitor protocol updates and on-chain governance changes

Where Crypto Security Is Headed

The future of crypto security lies in composable design, AI-based anomaly detection, and on-chain insurance primitives. As infrastructure matures, security is shifting from reactive defense to intelligent prevention.

“In DeFi, real security isn’t just about code — it’s about minimizing human error at scale.”
— Brian Watson, Security Researcher, Satrex
