🚨 2026 is becoming the worst year in history for crypto hacks.
According to DefiLlama and ARK Invest (12/11), losses from hacks have reached $8.78 billion this year — the first time since 2020 that they’ve exceeded the industry’s estimated total on-chain revenue of just $5.6 billion.
The October 29 Binance hack alone accounted for $6.36 billion, around 72% of the total, and the FBI believes the perpetrators were North Korea’s TraderTraitor group. Since 2017, crypto has lost $26.9 billion to hacks, compared with $47 billion in on-chain revenue — 57 cents lost to theft for every dollar earned. DeFi hasn’t escaped either: $1.19 billion has vanished across 243 incidents, up 58% from all of 2025.
Meanwhile, BTC is still moving sideways around $73,600, and the Fear & Greed Index is at 28 (Fear). The biggest decliner among the top 100 today is $RAIN, down 10.33% — on the same day the token unlocked coins worth around $197 million.
What do you think is crypto’s biggest problem right now: security or prices? 🤔
