Bitget

According to multiple blockchain security and research firms, the crypto industry lost $768 million to hacks in September 2026, the worst single-month figure of the year, with NEAR Intents and Bitget among the major victims. The incidents underscore how on-chain financial complexity is outpacing security maturity, and how institutional capital entry is raising the bar for custody and audit standards.

Crypto exchange Bitget confirmed unauthorized access affecting multiple hot wallets, with roughly $352 million in assets moved to an unidentified address, according to CoinDesk and other industry outlets. Bitget said user funds are safe and that reserves fully cover the exposure, while suspending some withdrawal services. The incident ranks among the largest centralized-exchange security events of 2026, reigniting concerns about custodial trust in crypto markets.
