Losses outpace onchain revenue
Crypto hackers stole $8.7 billion so far in 2026, according to ARK's research director, who said the figure surpasses the projected annual onchain revenue generated across the industry.
The researcher, Valente, put the comparison at 57 cents stolen for every $1 earned onchain. Cointelegraph reported his remarks on 12 November 2026.
The report does not break the $8.7 billion down by incident, chain or protocol type. It also does not say how the onchain revenue projection was calculated or which period it covers.
What is still open
The source gives no list of the hacks behind the total, and no response from exchanges, bridges or other platforms named in any incident. Whether the 2026 figure will be revised as the year closes is not stated.
