April 2026 Becomes Worst Month for Crypto Hacks Since February 2025
Summary
Crypto protocols have lost over $606 million to hacks in the first 18 days of April 2026, making it the most damaging month since February 2025. This surge is primarily driven by major exploits at KelpDAO and Drift Protocol, which together account for 95% of the month's losses. The recent increase in DeFi incidents has significantly impacted total value locked (TVL) and market sentiment, highlighting growing concerns over infrastructure-layer security vulnerabilities.
