Crypto lost 57 cents to hackers for every dollar gained: ARK.
Since 2017, the crypto industry has lost $26.9 billion to hacks while earning $47 billion in network revenue, which equates to 57 cents stolen for every dollar made.
The year 2026 saw the worst losses, with hackers stealing $8.7 billion, largely due to the $6.3 billion Binance hack, which overshadowed the chain's estimated $5.6 billion in revenue for the year.
Following the Binance breach, approximately $3 billion in stolen funds were frozen by blockchain partners, while the FBI linked the attack to a group linked to North Korea, which denied involvement.
