France Faces Escalating Crypto Violence: 77 Attacks Reported in 2026
French authorities have documented 77 incidents involving kidnapping, illegal confinement, extortion, or attempted offenses connected to the cryptocurrency industry throughout 2026. Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez disclosed these statistics during a June 30 presentation to the Association for the Development of Digital Assets. This figure represents a substantial escalation from the 45 incidents recorded in 2025. Remarkably, by mid-April 2026, authorities had already tallied 41 cases — translating to approximately one assault every two and a half days.
