Crypto adoption is booming in 2025 — and so are attacks. With billions lost to scams and theft each year, it’s no longer enough to just own crypto. You need to protect it like your life savings. Because in many cases, it is.

Here’s your essential checklist to keep your crypto secure:

Use Cold Storage for Long-Term Holdings

Keep your high-value assets in hardware wallets like Ledger or Trezor, disconnected from the internet.

Always Enable 2FA (But Avoid SMS)

Use authenticator apps, not text messages, to secure exchange and wallet logins.

Never Share Your Seed Phrase (Ever!)

Your 12–24 word recovery phrase is the master key. Don’t store it online. Don’t screenshot it. Don’t email it.

Watch for Phishing Scams

Fake wallet apps, websites, and emails can mirror the real thing. Double-check URLs and use bookmark folders for official links.

Use Trusted Security Tools

VPNs, password managers, and device-level malware scanners can stop attackers before they reach your wallet.
