Losses from crypto-related hacks and exploits fell sharply in December 2025, even as the number of incidents remained elevated, according to data from blockchain security firm PeckShield.
In a post on X on Thursday, PeckShield said December 2025 recorded around 26 major crypto exploits, resulting in total losses of about $76 million. While the figure remains substantial, it marked a roughly 60% decline from November’s $194.3 million in losses, representing one of the steepest month-over-month drops in 2025.
While the reduction in losses may offer some relief to the market, PeckShield’s data shows that exploit activity remains a persistent threat across the crypto ecosystem.
