Crypto exploit losses fall 90% in May to $68M: CertiK

Blockchain security firm CertiK's latest report reveals that cryptocurrency losses from exploits and hacks in May 2026 plunged to $68 million, a 90% month-over-month drop. This marks the third time this year that monthly losses have remained below the $100 million threshold.

Of the first five months of 2026, three have now recorded losses under $100 million, while the other two exceeded that level. The sharp decline in May underscores the volatility of attack activity and adds a positive note to the industry's security posture. CertiK continues to track these incidents, providing transparent data that helps market participants assess risks. Overall, the May figures signal an encouraging improvement in crypto security resilience.
