The threat of cybersecurity is speeding at machine velocity in the international markets. It takes hackers two seconds to transfer stolen assets after an attack.Money is being lost over networks, and the victims do not even notice. This worrying trend has been pointed out by a new report by Global Ledger. The company examined 255 crypto hacks valued at 4.04 billion US dollars in 2025.The results indicate that attackers, in most cases, were transferring assets prior to disclosure to the masses. Approximately three-quarters of hacks experienced instant fund transfer. That share reached 84.6 per cent in the second half.Investigators and exchanges have difficulties responding promptly. This fast implementation poses severe threats to investors and platforms. It is also an indication of a new dawn in the money laundering activities of cryptocurrency globally.The way crypto money laundering is done is now characterised by speed. Hackers make transfers a few seconds after they access wallets. This strategy helps to avoid freezing of suspicious addresses. The initial transfer is usually made prior to the detection of abnormalities in exchanges.However, the entire laundering process is more protracted. It required an average of 10.6 days for hackers to access final deposits in late 2025. At the beginning of the year, the process would require about eight days.This delayed completion is an indicator of more powerful surveillance measures. When the breaches are publicised, the exchanges are more cautious and labelled. Money is then divided into smaller parts among criminals.They take money through several wallets and chains. These measures cause obscuration of ownership and postponement of tracing. The marathon is slower compared to the sprint. This evolution reflects the way in which cybersecurity threats keep changing past mere theft.To realise the process of crypto laundering, it is necessary to monitor cross-chain bridges and mixers. Bridges have become the primary channels of transporting stolen goods. Almost half of the illegal funds were transferred over bridges.Approximately 2.01 billion crossed networks were done through this means. That number is higher than mixers and privacy tools. In the case of Bybit, 94.91 per cent of stolen money passed through bridges. Mixers still play a role.It is Tornado Cash that emerged in 41.57 of hacks in 2025. It began to explode in the second half following changes in sanctions. These systems are transaction blending systems that conceal origins.Attackers do not touch off-putting exchange deposits until scrutiny wears off. This multi-layered routing complicates work on the part of investigators and regulators.A huge portion of the stolen money is not touched. Assets are lying idle in pockets, almost half of them. Lower monitoring levels may be exploited by criminals.
