#Crypto Kidnappings Surge as Paris Attack Marks Sixth Case in France
The daughter and grandson of a French crypto exchange co-founder narrowly escaped armed abduction in Paris on Tuesday.
Four masked assailants attempted to force the victims into a van before fleeing when bystanders intervened after the woman disarmed one attacker.
The incident marks at least the sixth #crypto-related attack in France this year, with prior cases involving kidnappings and physical mutilation for ransom demands.
Global tracking by security firm Casa shows 22 physical crypto-related attacks in 2025 already, compared to 32 for all of 2024.
Recent incidents span France, Hong Kong, China, and Brazil, with criminals increasingly demanding crypto payments after targeting industry figures or their families.
