Crypto hacks hit record high in H1 2026 – What’s fueling the surge?

According to TRM Labs, crypto hacks reached a record high in the first half of 2026 with 207 incidents, more than double the 85 reported in H1 2025. While the number of breaches surged, the total value stolen fell to $972 million, less than half the $2.3 billion lost in the same period the previous year. Smart contract exploits were the most common attack type, constituting 125 cases. However, TRM Labs' Ari Redbord noted that three-quarters of the stolen value came from infrastructure failures like compromised keys and custody systems, highlighting a gap between improved code auditing and lagging operational security. Notably, North Korean-linked actors were responsible for 66% of the stolen funds. Major exploits, such as the $293 million attack on KelpDAO, triggered liquidity crises in protocols like Aave and contributed to a broader loss of confidence in DeFi, leading to significant capital outflows and a drop in Total Value Locked to a two-year low of $70 billion.
