StableKeyTM Emerges as the Turnkey Solution to Violent Crypto-Focused Home Invasions and “Wrench Attacks”
ATLANTA, GA, Dec. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trust Stamp announced a Turnkey Solution to Violent Crypto-Focused Home Invasions and “Wrench Attacks.” A recent attack in San Francisco, where a criminal posing as a delivery driver tied up a homeowner and forced an $11 million crypto transfer, has highlighted a growing wave of home invasions involving kidnappings, beatings, and even torture. The home invasions target cryptocurrency holders exploiting a fatal flaw in today’s digital-asset ecosystem: criminals can physically coerce victims into transferring funds, and once the assets move, they are often irrecoverable.
Global cases, including, demonstrate that traditional wallet security fails when a victim is forced, at gunpoint or worse, to authorize a transfer.
Today, Trust Stamp explained how this rising threat can be prevented through the integration of StableKey, the company’s patented quantum-ready embedded-identity algorithm, which cryptographically binds a digital asset to its rightful owner, rendering forced transfers worthless to attackers without creating a link to their own biometric identity.
Trust Stamp’s StableKey technology introduces a breakthrough: digital assets, including stablecoins, tokenized deposits, CBDCs, NFTs, and other on-chain instruments, can be embedded with cryptographic identity binding, ensuring that the ownership of an asset is tied to an irreversibly transformed biometric marker of the rightful owner.
John Bridge, Trust Stamp’s President of GovTech and former Chief Inspector of the Financial Surveillance Unit of the United States Marshals Service commented, "The crypto industry has focused on protecting keys, versus people. StableKey transforms stablecoins and other digital assets from bearer instruments into privacy-protected yet ownership-bound instruments. With embedded identity, it is pointless for a criminal to force a victim to transfer value that they cannot later unlock. As stablecoins proliferate, this grave risk needs to be addressed not just by law enforcement and regulators but also by insurers who would arguably be justified in refusing coverage for irrecoverable digital assets.”
