TREE NEWS reports: Crypto attacks caused $1.18 billion in losses in the third quarter, with about 77% of the damage linked to issues including insufficient audit coverage. The figure underscores persistent security weaknesses as losses mount across the sector. Separately, 10x Research said the altcoin rebound has faded, with tracked tokens falling an average of 14% last week.
Crypto losses from Q3 attacks hit $1.18B, 77% tied to audit gaps
AI take
The concentration of losses around audit gaps shifts the security conversation from isolated exploits to structural due-diligence failures, which matters most for projects that rely on third-party reviews and for the counterparties pricing that risk. The simultaneous fade in altcoins suggests the market is not rewarding risk-taking while these weaknesses remain visible. Whether audit coverage becomes a clearer differentiator in how projects are assessed is the open question.
