Crypto hack losses exceeded $1 billion in H1 2026, with Ethereum ($332m) and Solana ($326m) recording the largest losses across 212 security incidents. Ethereum losses stemmed primarily from smart contract code exploits, while Solana losses were driven by compromised keys and signing infrastructure breaches, with attacks increasingly linked to North Korean cyber groups.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Crypto & Web3, Cybersecurity and Security Infrastructure.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
The attack surface for crypto has fractured into two distinct security problems: Ethereum demands code audit and smart contract verification tooling; Solana demands key management and signer infrastructure hardening. Build for one chain, not both, and your first customer is already bleeding money.
