CoinDCX admitted losing $15.99 million in USDT through compromised wallets that were supposed to be retired following a 2025 breach. The loss was caused by a failed automated service that allowed deposits to accumulate in these compromised wallets, although the exchange absorbed the losses without impacting customer balances or active trading.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Crypto & Web3.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

CoinDCX's mishandling of wallet security reveals a regulatory risk for crypto exchanges in India. You need to review and reinforce your own wallet controls immediately to avoid similar losses or regulatory penalties.
