According to PeckShield data, in April hackers stole approximately $357.11 million from cryptocurrency holders. A total of 18 major hacks were recorded. In comparison, in January, February, and March 2025, due to hacks, holders of digital assets lost $87.25 million, $1.51 billion, and $33.46 million, respectively.
The most funds — nearly $330.7 million, were lost by crypto investors due to unauthorized transactions. About $7.5 million lost as a result of the hack of the decentralized exchange KiloEx, and $5.4 million stolen from ZKsync were returned.
The Loopscale decentralized lending protocol also lost $5.8 million due to a hacker attack on April 26. Two days later, the company announced that 90% of the funds had been returned in exchange for a 10% reward for the hacker.
After successful negotiations, all funds withdrawn from the Loopscale protocol (5,726,725 USDC + 1211 SOL) on April 26 were returned. As a result of this incident, users will incur no losses, Loopscale stated.
MophoLabs, another decentralized lending protocol, ranked fifth in this rating due to a $2.6 million hack last month.
The largest exploit of this year remains the attack on the cryptocurrency exchange Bybit, as a result of which the platform lost $1.4 billion.
