Crypto hacks drained $75.9 million across 40 incidents in June, down 7.1% from May's $81.7 million, according to on-chain analytics firm PeckShield.
The Humanity Protocol exploit topped the monthly list at roughly $31 million, with the project's own investigation later pegging losses closer to $36 million once knock-on effects were tallied. That single incident accounted for over a third of June's total on-chain theft, leaving the remaining 39 incidents to share the balance.
Why it matters
June's print comes after a stretch of elevated hack activity earlier in the year and offers a marginal reprieve rather than a reversal of trend. Even with the month-on-month decline, $75.9 million in a single month keeps 2025 on track to be one of the heavier years on record for crypto theft. Concentration risk is the notable read: a single attack on Humanity Protocol drove the headline figure, which means the headline understates the dispersion of smaller incidents underneath.
Frequently asked questions
-
What does the Humanity Protocol exploit tell us about current security risk?
A single $31M event driving over a third of the month's losses points to concentration risk: one protocol's failure can dominate the monthly headline, even when the surrounding 39 incidents are individually smaller.
