While overall numbers of physical attacks are relatively low, the crypto community fears these attacks may increase as the number of crypto millionaires surges due to Bitcoin’s surging price.

While that’s poor operational security for any Bitcoiner, Wall also pointed to the Swedish financial transparency policy as a big factor, as criminals could check their total wealth and retrieve their addresses through the governmental open data.

According to prominent Swedish Bitcoiner Eric Wall, a recurring pattern in these cases is that “the victims had livestreamed a podcast about Bitcoin/crypto days before their assault or mentioned Bitcoin in a public context.”

Unlike traditional assets kept in a bank or on the stock market, self-custodied crypto is easily accessed, and transfers cannot be reversed. Funds are accessed via a private key controlled by the holders, meaning that a so-called $5 wrench attack — where criminals use physical violence or threats to force hodlers to hand over the keys — is a relatively easy method of theft.

The Ethereum network’s total value locked (TVL) surged to $78 billion on Dec. 12, a 31% increase from $59.3 billion 30 days earlier, according to DefiLlama. This growth was primarily fueled by deposit increases in protocols such as AAVE, EigenLayer, Athena, Binance Staking, Spark and Pendle. By comparison, BNB Chain deposits grew 10% during the same period, while Tron achieved an 18% increase.

Ether rallied 11.6% from Dec. 10 to Dec. 12, recovering from losses the preceding two days. This price move was partly driven by robust inflows into Ether spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and heightened activity on the Ethereum network, which helped restore investor confidence.
