The post Crypto Hacks in August: $163 Million Stolen Across 16 Attacks appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Crypto hack in August shook the digital asset industry as hackers stole $163 million across 16 incidents, according to blockchain security firm PeckShield. This marked a sharp jump from July’s $142 million, proving how cyberattacks are becoming more frequent and sophisticated. The largest hit was a $91.4 million theft from multiple anonymous Bitcoin addresses, highlighting that even individual investors remain highly vulnerable.

BtcTurk Hack and Exchange Security Risks

One of the biggest cases was the hack of Turkey’s leading exchange BtcTurk, which lost $54 million. Shockingly, this was not the first time—the exchange had already lost the same amount in June 2024, pushing its total losses above $100 million in just one year.

CEO Özgür Güneri confirmed unauthorized access was detected, affected wallets were frozen, and investigations with local authorities are ongoing.

Other victims included:

Odin.fun – $7 million lost

BetterBank.io – $5 million lost

CrediX Finance – $4.5 million lost

These repeated cases prove how centralized crypto exchanges are a constant target for hackers.

Why Crypto Hacks Are Increasing

Analysts say the rapid growth of the crypto sector is a key reason for these rising hacks. New platforms and protocols are often launched quickly, skipping proper security audits, which creates easy entry points for attackers.

Human error also plays a big role. Many users still fall victim to phishing scams, weak passwords, and not enabling two-factor authentication, making both exchanges and personal wallets easy targets.

Market Impact and Bitcoin Price Drop

The hacks weighed on investor confidence. Bitcoin (BTC) dropped 1.23% in the past 24 hours, trading at $107,725.91 with a market cap of $2.15 trillion, according to CoinMarketCap. Over the past week, BTC slipped 4.62%, though it still shows a 2.21% gain in the last 90 days.

Analysts warn that repeated security breaches could slow adoption, even if long-term interest in Bitcoin remains strong.

A Wake-Up Call for the Crypto Industry

The $163 million stolen in August is a serious warning sign. Each hack erodes trust, delays adoption, and pressures regulators to enforce stricter rules. Experts call for:

Stronger defense systems

Ongoing security audits

Better coordination between exchanges and regulators

Unless crypto security becomes a top priority alongside innovation, the industry risks letting vulnerabilities overshadow its potential.
