Exchange, bridge, and protocol breaches where funds were stolen — incident reports and post-mortems.
BTC is off nearly 3% from Monday's high even as Nasdaq 100 futures extend gains — a fresh $36M Humanity Protocol exploit is doing the narrative work for the 'no second best' crowd.
The breach wasn't a novel attack — it was a textbook custody failure on a project backed by Pantera and Jump Crypto, and the recovered token price is still a third of pre-breach levels.
The team says no contract or product security issue has been found, but a 60% flash move on a Binance Labs-backed token raises harder questions about who was selling and why.
The biggest story isn't the 80% drawdown — it's the pattern: stolen keys, not flawed code, drove most of 2026's largest crypto losses, and H just became the freshest data point.
More than 17 wallets linked to the project have been siphoned in an active exploit, with on-chain monitors flagging losses above $31M as the H token collapses on thin liquidity.
The attacker is swapping stolen $H straight into $ETH in real time — a textbook exit-liquidity drain that turns a smart-contract bug into an instant market crash for everyone holding the token.
The exploit traced through 17 wallets hit the H token harder than the dollar loss — and a founder-confirmed private-key compromise means the attack vector was a single point of failure, not a…

The flagged USDC and USDT are issued on JuCoin's own JuChain — the same closed-loop tokens that won't drain anywhere if withdrawals stay frozen.
The delisting is the surface story; the structural signal is a top-tier venue publicly breaking with a Trump-family stablecoin over unilateral address freezes — a precedent every issuer will be…
Capex is crowding out rate-cut oxygen while an AI-assisted Zcash Orchard flaw shows the next crypto security crisis may live in the base layer.
The exchange forcibly converted all user USD1 to USDT and called the freeze disproportionate — the latest rupture between a Trump-linked project and a major venue.
