FBI warns people off investing in DeFi as, in just three months, cybercriminals stole 1.3 billion in cryptocurrency. Taking note from the research of Chainalysis, a US blockchain analysis firm, the office stated that 97% of the crypto was stolen from decentralized finance platforms. With intelligent blockchain undertaking, DeFi firms provide financial tools without the help of exchanges, brokerages, banks, etc. The issue is going up rapidly. According to Chainalysis, the 1.3 billion theft indicates a 72% rise from the 2021 finding and a 30% increase compared to 2020 rates. In addition, the FBI observed some trends in its investigations, including flash loans in decentralized finance from smart contracts. Due to this trend, the project developers and investors lost three million cryptocurrency. In addition, the FBI also exploited Signature verification on the DeFi platform to withdraw investments and manipulate the cryptocurrency price by using the vulnerabilities before trading.

Despite all these above facts, if you still want to trade in DeFi cryptocurrency, the FBI shares tips to keep your finances safe from hackers.

DeFi investment platform should have audits by individual auditors and DeFi funding, which has a minimum timeframe to enter and exit contracts.
Individuals with bad intentions can access open crowdsourced solutions identified as codes.

Though DeFi is a risky business proposition for individuals, for the broader economic system, not so much at this point. According to a report, the Bank of England's financial policy committee said that the "direct risks to the stability of the UK financial system from crypto assets and DeFi are currently limited." "if the pace of growth in recent years continues, and as these assets become more interconnected with the wider financial system, crypto assets and DeFi will present financial stability risks." However, the above statements do not imply that DeFi's future is safe.
