Hackers Still Hold $287 Million in Stolen Crypto That Can’t Be Frozen, Blockaid Report Says

Hackers who stole crypto this year still control $287.1 million in wallets that investigators can watch but have no means to freeze, blockchain security company Blockaid said in a report it released on Monday. The firm examined 60 major onchain exploits from January through August 2026, which it said accounted for $1.18 billion in stolen funds. By Blockaid’s count, only $9.8 million , or 0.8%, had made it back to victims as of Sept. 2, the report’s cutoff. Another $81.4 million was frozen but not yet handed back. Just five of the 60 incidents saw any money frozen or recovered. Get Unchained’s crypto news in your inbox with the free Unchained Daily newsletter .
