Crypto Hacks Reach New Heights as $3.63B Lost Since 2025
Crypto security risks have reached new heights as platforms lost $3.63 billion across 245 documented exploits between January 2025 and July 2026, according to CoinGecko's 2026 State of Crypto Security Report.
The report highlights that attackers are increasingly targeting infrastructure, private keys, smart contracts, and third-party systems, with the 10 largest attacks accounting for over 72.5% of total stolen funds.
Supply-chain attacks were the largest source of losses during the period, amounting to around $1.81 billion, while centralized exchanges remain particularly exposed to private key compromises.
The report also found that having an audit does not necessarily prevent a crypto hack, with 147 affected protocols that had undergone an independent security audit accounting for 88.44% of capital lost during the period.
