Crypto theft and fraud losses exceeded $1 billion in the first half of 2026, according to Blockaid’s H1 2026 security report. The period saw the highest number of hacks in any six-month stretch recorded by the onchain security firm.

Ethereum and Solana accounted for the largest portions of stolen funds, with approximately $332 million and $326 million respectively. Blockaid tracked 212 security incidents during the six-month period.

The report highlighted a notable incident involving KelpDAO, which resulted in losses of $292 million. This was the largest single exploit in the report and fits the broader pattern of high-value targets attracting concentrated attacks.
