The cryptocurrency market is currently sailing in a treacherous landscape where optimistic price action comes up against alarming security vulnerabilities. During the weekend, a first cryptographic media confirmed that his website was compromised by a frontal feat, injecting a malicious pop-up promoting a false airline. This incident, which aimed to encourage users to connect their portfolios, is a brutal reminder of the persistent threats facing investors. He follows a similar attack on a large aggregator of cryptographic data a few days earlier, highlighting a trend of pirates taking advantage of confidence platforms to deploy portfolio drainage scams. This growing threat environment is quantified in a scary new report. According to the security company Certik, crypto investors lost $ 2.47 billion amazing dollars for pirates and scams in the first half of only 2025. This figure already exceeds total losses for the whole year before. The report identifies the portfolio compromises as the main vector, representing $ 1.7 billion in total losses, highlighting the sophistication and success of modern phishing attacks.
The market defies severity in the middle of creeping exploits
Despite the dark security canvas, the digital asset market has shown remarkable, almost provocative strength. Bitcoin (BTC) leads the load, the BTC / USDT pair climbing 0.803% to negotiate at $ 109,066.24. In the past 24 hours, Bitcoin has pushed a summit of $ 109,600, reporting high purchase pressure because it questions the level of psychological resistance of $ 110,000. The hollow of $ 107,837.71 suggests that hollows are purchased, establishing a solid short -term support base. However, the most convincing story lies in Ethereum (ETH), the very ecosystem which, according to Certik, was the most targeted, with $ 1.5 billion stolen from 164 incidents in H1 2025. Instead of weakening, the ETH is outperforming. The ETH / USDT pair increased by 2,065% to $ 2,571.71, a negotiation volume reaching 152.27 ETH. This indicates a robust activity and a clear appetite for Ethereum despite the known risks. The 24-hour fork for ETH / USDT, from a minimum of $ 2,505.88 to a summit of $ 2,603.59, shows a decisive rupture above the support level of $ 2,500, by transforming it into a new floor for merchants to watch.
Ethereum’s technical strength and cross pair performance
Ethereum’s resilience is not only visible against the dollar, but is even more pronounced against Bitcoin. The ETH / BTC pair, a key indicator of the resistance of the Altcoin market, joined a significant level of 2.847% to a higher 24 hours of 0.02384. This decision suggests that the capital turns from Bitcoin to Ethereum, the Paris traders on the relative potential of the ETH. This outperformance is critical because it often precedes a wider Altcoin rally. A more in -depth examination of different pairs of Ethereum trading reveals a coherent upward trend. Against USDC Stablecoin, ETH / USDC climbed 3.045% to a summit of $ 2,600.12. The ETH / USD pair has also shown high gains, increasing 2,580% to $ 2582.34. The slight price variations between the USDT, USDC and USD pairs may have arbitration opportunities for experienced merchants, but largely confirm the upward momentum above the $ 2,500 mark. “Although the overall figures are alarming, it is important to emphasize that the majority of funds lost in H1 were attributable to two concentrated and high impact events,” said the co-founder of Certik, Ronghui Gu, perhaps offering a reason why the market is able to compartmentalize these losses and focus on macro-tendencies.
This bullish feeling is also reflected in the wider Ethereum ecosystem. The main altcoins associated with ETH also display gains. The ground / eTH pair, for example, is up 2.595% to 0.06800, indicating that Solana works well but still slightly late for powerful Ethereum. Likewise, the ADA / ETH pair experienced a respectable increase of 1.838%. These data collectively portray an image of a market which is, for the moment, by completely annoying the systemic security risks highlighted by recent high -level exploits. Merchants seem to focus on the macro rise in Bitcoin Force and use Ethereum as a higher game on the momentum of the market. However, the danger is that this complacency can leave the market vulnerable to a clear correction if a future feat is too important for investors to ignore. The prevalence of portfolio drainers on supposedly safe websites is a crucial warning: the strength of the technical price cannot protect against improper operational security, and traders must remain exceptionally vigilant.
