Massive Dark Web Breach: Over 18 Million Crypto Users' Data Allegedly Leaked from Top US Platforms

15. Apr 2025 Posted by Laurent C. on News

A staggering data breach has reportedly exposed personal details of more than 18 million U.S.-based cryptocurrency users, with the entire database allegedly listed for sale on the dark web. The leak, said to originate from over 20 well-known crypto exchanges and platforms, has ignited serious concerns about digital security in the crypto industry.

According to an April 15 report from Dark Web Informer, a cybercriminal is attempting to sell the massive trove of user data for $10,000. The database reportedly includes full names, email addresses, phone numbers, and even physical addresses—sensitive details that could be weaponized for identity theft and other cybercrimes.

The dataset’s scope is alarming. Reports indicate that the records include approximately:

  • 1.5 million phone numbers associated with Binance US

  • 1.8 million user entries from Crypto.com

  • 432,000 from Coinbase

  • 197,000 from Robinhood

  • 121,071 from Kraken

  • 800,000 from Gemini

  • 76,710 from CoinMarketCap

Additional data appears linked to Ledger, Bitfinex, Coinmama, BearTax, USA Crypto Legacy, and several others. A screenshot of the listing shared by Dark Web Informer showed that the database spans over 18 million records in total.

This development follows previous alerts from the same source, which recently flagged another seller offering crypto investor leads specifically tied to Robinhood users across the U.S. and Europe—including nations such as Germany, France, Spain, Switzerland, and the UK. Notably, that data also appeared to be acquired through direct breaches rather than scraped from public sources.

This isn't the first such breach to surface. Earlier reports had already linked leaks to platforms like Ledger, Gemini, and Robinhood, and just last month, combined listings of 230,000+ records from Binance and Gemini were reportedly found circulating on the dark web.

The growing frequency of these incidents signals a critical vulnerability in how user data is stored and protected across the digital asset industry. Security experts are urging crypto holders to take precautions immediately—such as enabling two-factor authentication, using strong and unique passwords, and avoiding suspicious messages or login prompts.

As hackers continue to target the booming crypto sector, both platforms and their users face an urgent call to strengthen defenses before the next breach strikes.
