Crypto hacks drained $766.49 million in September, a 2026 monthly record, and $387.5 million came from one breach of Bitget's hot wallets. After the money returned from the Liquid Network exploit, that one exchange accounts for about 80% of what stayed stolen.

Bitget presses THORChain to cut off the wallets holding its stolen $387.5 million

Bitget CEO Gracy Chen publicly asked THORChain to refuse service to the wallets that took $387.5 million, after Circle and Tether stopped nearly $318,000. Much of the rest now depends on a no-KYC swap protocol that has declined to block stolen funds in earlier hacks, including its own.

Bitget's own authorization process approved $351.6M in transfers built on spoofed data

Messari puts Morpho's outstanding loans at a record $5bn, with 95% of it stablecoin credit. About $1.3bn of that comes from Coinbase customers borrowing USDC against $2.5bn of cbBTC, and that prices out as a 52% loan-to-value book, not a leverage book.
