Hackers Steal $75.87 Million From Crypto Platforms in June 2026

Source Beincrypto

Crypto platforms lost roughly $75.87 million to 40 hacks in June 2026, according to security firm PeckShield.

The monthly total reinforces a familiar pattern for the sector, where bridges, smart contracts, and compromised keys remain the most common failure points.

Humanity Protocol Exploit Tops June Crypto Hacks

According to PeckShield, June’s figure marks a 7.13% decline from May’s $81.7 million. The Humanity Protocol breach headlined June with over $30 million in losses. Attackers compromised private keys that had been backed up to a malware-infected developer machine.

According to Quantstamp, the attacker relied on tooling and techniques commonly associated with North Korean hacking groups.

The exploiter has since laundered proceeds across multiple networks, including Bitcoin (BTC), Solana (SOL), Hyperliquid (HYPE), and BNB Chain.

These funds have also been commingled with proceeds linked to the KelpDAO exploiter, suggesting a potential overlap between the threat actors behind both incidents,” the security firm said.

Syscoin Bridge followed with a $10 million loss after an attacker minted unauthorized SYS tokens. The JaredFromSubway.eth Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) bot lost $7.5 million, while Secret Network was drained for $4.67 million.

Aztec Products Hit Despite Years of Dormancy

Two separate attacks targeted Aztec-linked products within the month. Aztec Payments Product lost $2.16 million, and Aztec Connect lost $2.1 million, for a combined total near $4 million.

Both products had been deprecated years earlier, and Aztec Labs said it held no control over the affected systems.

Other June incidents included Polymarket users losing $3 million after reportedly being targeted in a phishing campaign, along with $2.4 million in losses for SecondFi and TESSERA. The Taiko Bridge exploit closed out the top 10 at $1.7 million.

With both deprecated code and cross-chain laundering in play, June showed that old contracts remain in attackers’ crosshairs long after teams walk away.

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant. The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year. Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus. Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses. Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
