A security report by Blockaid says cryptocurrency-related hacks in the first half of 2026 exceed $1 billion in total losses. The report identifies Ethereum and Solana as the biggest contributors to the losses among major blockchain ecosystems. Ethereum accounts for an estimated $332 million lost, with the report attributing the majority of its losses to code exploits. Solana accounts for an estimated $326 million lost, with the report pointing to attacks involving compromised keys and signing infrastructure. The two outlets summarizing the findings agree that the overall figure represents a record level of hack losses for the period, reflecting continuing differences in how attackers target various platforms. While the report focuses on the largest losses, it underscores that vulnerabilities across leading blockchains are being exploited through distinct attack methods, including software weaknesses on one network and key or infrastructure compromise on another. The findings are presented as estimates based on the report’s security analysis.
