DeFi Security in 2025: Experts Highlight AI’s Role in Fighting Cybercrime
In 2024, cybercriminals stole $3.01 billion in digital assets, with losses split almost evenly between centralized (CeFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi), according to Peckshield’s report.
While DeFi losses have decreased since 2022, experts warn the sector remains vulnerable to cybercrime. Proponents believe AI tools could revolutionize DeFi security by detecting threats in real-time and preventing scams like honeypots and rug pulls. Experts predict “DEFAI” – AI-powered DeFi – will emerge in 2025, integrating security into every transaction. However, global regulators may intensify oversight, potentially clashing with DeFi’s decentralized, privacy-focused ethos.
