Crypto Security Incidents Reach Record Levels, $1.1B in Losses

Crypto security incidents reached record levels in the first half of 2026, resulting in losses exceeding $1.1 billion.

This surpasses the total losses seen in 2025 and highlights the need for stronger prevention, faster recovery, and improved operational defenses.

The major attacks targeted Ethereum and Solana, with April alone accounting for over $600 million in losses due to significant breaches at Kelp DAO and Drift Protocol.
