Blockaid says hackers hold $287 million in traceable stolen crypto

Hackers responsible for major cryptocurrency thefts in 2026 are still in possession of $287.1 million in stolen assets, according to blockchain security firm Blockaid. The company’s recent report reviewed 60 significant onchain exploits that occurred between January and August this year, totaling $1.18 billion in lost funds. Blockaid detailed that attackers moved stolen assets at remarkable speed, with the median transfer occurring 17 minutes after an exploit. In 40 out of 59 analyzed cases, the funds shifted within an hour, while in 13 incidents, the transfers happened in less than a minute. Ido Ben-Natan, co-founder and CEO of Blockaid, emphasized the challenges for security teams facing such swift operations. He noted that this brief timeframe leaves little opportunity for detection and response.
