Bitget hack pushes Q3 crypto security losses past $1B

Crypto security losses hit $1.26 billion in Q3 across 247 incidents, with September alone accounting for roughly $769 million. The total was driven past the $1 billion mark by a $388 million hack at the exchange Bitget. The figures cover the third quarter of the year.

The concentration of losses in a single exchange incident is the real signal here: it shows that even as smaller exploits proliferate, the headline number is now dominated by a handful of high-value targets. That matters for how the industry measures progress on security, since incident counts and dollar totals tell different stories. Whether the quarterly pace of large-scale exchange breaches becomes the norm, or September proves an outlier, is the open question worth tracking.
