$8.6 billion

that's how much has been stolen from crypto exchanges and hardware wallets 💀

binance (2026): ~$2b+ (happening rn)
bybit (2025): $1.5b
coincheck (2018): $530m
ftx (2022): $477m
mt. gox (2014): $473m
bitget (2026): $387m

hardware wallets aren't safe either:

ledger, tampered via reseller (2026): $93m plus

not your keys, not your coins.

but even your keys aren't safe if you buy from the wrong place.
