CertiK: Crypto Hack Losses Reach $2.68 Billion in 2026

  • —CertiK puts 2026 losses at $2.68 billion; Finbold estimates about $2.1 billion
  • —Q3 saw 247 incidents and $1.26 billion in losses, per CertiK
  • —September was the year's peak with $768.5 million stolen in 99 incidents
  • —Largest theft on record remains the $1.5 billion Bybit hack in February 2025
Why it matters: Attack counts are rising faster than dollar losses, and diverging tracker data makes it harder to gauge real risk for holders and protocols.
