40–60 crypto exploits have already happened in 2026… and we’re not even halfway through the year.


Q1 alone:
• 44 major hacks
• $482M stolen
January carried the damage:
• $400M lost in a single month
Then it slowed down:
• February: 15 hacks ($26M)
• March: 20 hacks ($52M)
But here’s the real story…
It’s not about the number of hacks anymore.
It’s about how BIG they are.
A few exploits are doing most of the damage:
• KelpDAO: $294M
• Drift: $220M+
Same pattern as 2025:
Less noise. Bigger hits.
So the real question is:
Are protocols actually getting safer…
or are hackers just getting smarter?
What do you think?
