$1.1 Billion Lost to Crypto Security Failures in H1 2026
Crypto security losses reached $1.1 billion across 212 verified incidents during the first half of 2026, according to an H1 report published by Blockaid on July 28.
The report revealed that 74% of stolen funds resulted from operational security failures rather than exploited smart contract code.
A single DPRK-linked cluster accounted for 55% of losses alone, with Ethereum-related projects losing about $332 million and Solana-related projects losing around $326 million.
