Crypto Hacks Reach Record $3.63B Amid BlackRock's Streak
Crypto platforms lost $3.63 billion to hacks and exploits between January 2025 and July 2026, according to CoinGecko's 2026 State of Crypto Security Report.
The report found that most of the money was lost due to infrastructure failures and stolen private keys, rather than smart contract bugs.
Meanwhile, BlackRock has completed an eighth consecutive day of crypto purchases, acquiring 27,722 BTC and 371,527 ETH worth over $3 billion combined.
