Chainalysis: North Korea-linked hacks account for nearly 89% of crypto hack losses in 2026
Blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis reported that suspected North Korea-linked hacks accounted for nearly 89% of reported crypto hack losses in 2026, up from 15% in 2021. The average loss per incident in 2026 was $185.65 million, compared to $50.65 million in 2021. The data suggests fewer, larger attacks rather than a rise in hacking volume, with the largest incident involving a Binance hack estimated at $6.3 billion to $6.4 billion.
