As a keen observer of the cryptocurrency landscape, I'm curious to understand the magnitude of the issue facing our digital assets. Could you provide a comprehensive overview of the total amount of cryptocurrency that has been stolen in recent years? The figures, I believe, would be instrumental in understanding the severity of the situation and the need for tighter security measures. Additionally, how does this compare to traditional financial fraud, and what are the major trends or patterns in these crypto-related heists? I'm interested in understanding the current state of affairs and how we can safeguard our digital wealth in the future.
