Crypto hacks average $25 million as largest exploits skew industry losses: Immunefi
Crypto hacks average $24.5 million, heavily skewed by rare, massive exploits, according to Immunefi's security report.Summary
Immunefi's 2026 State of Onchain Security report indicates that the baseline cost of a crypto hack is around $25 million, though the median hack has shrunk to $2.2 million. The average loss remains high at nearly $24.5 million because a few devastating events skew the data; the five largest exploits in 2024–2025 accounted for 62% of all stolen funds. Centralized exchanges bore over half the total losses ($2.55 billion) from only 20 incidents, highlighting persistent custodial risk. Furthermore, market reactions are harsh, with affected tokens declining 10% within two days on average, and suffering a median loss of 61% after six months, with only 16% recovering above pre-hack levels. These losses severely impact project treasuries, and breaches often lead to security leadership turnover and months of remediation effort.
