Indian Exchange CoinDCX Admits $16M Hit After CEO Dismissed Suspicious Transfers

CoinDCX has confirmed a $16 million cryptocurrency loss just three days after its CEO dismissed suspicious wallet activity as a “false alarm.” The Indian exchange acknowledged that deposits had accumulated in compromised, supposedly retired wallets after an automated transfer system failed. CoinDCX says it absorbed the losses and customer balances remain safe, but blockchain investigators have challenged its account of when those wallets stopped operating.

The Oct. 25 admission followed blockchain investigators’ discovery that supposedly retired addresses continued handling funds long after a $44 million breach in July 2025.
