Audited Protocols Responsible for Majority of Crypto Hacks Since 2025

Crypto protocols that underwent independent security audits accounted for a staggering 88.44% of all funds stolen since January 2025, according to CoinGecko's 2026 state of crypto security report.

The study tracked 245 incidents and $3.63 billion in losses through July 2026. Despite this, only 11% of exploits involved in-scope smart contract flaws, with those cases still draining $396 million.

Audited protocols were breached despite having undergone security clearance, highlighting weaknesses in external infrastructure and supply chain vulnerabilities. Supply chain and infrastructure breaches took more than $1.8 billion, the largest single category in the report.
