Summary · why it matters

Security incidents in the crypto industry during July-September 2026 caused total losses of about 1.27 billion dollars, or roughly 199.9 billion yen, up 54.4% from 819.4 million dollars in April-June. The figures come from the Security Dashboard of security firm CertiK. The number of incidents rose 13.7% to 249 from 219 in the previous quarter, with the growth in losses far outpacing the growth in incident count. Losses were concentrated in the final month of the quarter, with September alone accounting for 772.4 million dollars, about 60% of the July-September total. By attack method in September, exploits of vulnerabilities accounted for 739.5 million dollars, or 95.7% of the month's total, and were also the most numerous at 61 cases. The largest single incident that month was at crypto exchange Bitget, which CertiK tallied at 387.5 million dollars, equivalent to about 30% of the quarter's total losses. On September 25, Bitget revised upward the amount lost in the hack to about 387.5 million dollars, saying the increase reflected assets not included in the initial tally and that no new illicit transfers had occurred. Attackers are believed to have exploited a vulnerability in a third-party security product to obtain internal credentials and then moved assets out of wallets using fake withdrawal instructions. The company said it has fixed the underlying vulnerability and is continuing to trace and recover the funds.

US Senate Report: Over $34.6 Million in USDT Flowed Out of Iran-Linked Wallets

Democratic staff of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI) of the US Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee published a report on September 28 examining Iran-linked funding networks. According to the report, of 39 wallets that Israel's National Bureau for Counter Terror Financing (NBCTF) designated for seizure in June 2023 as being tied to a figure involved in Hezbollah money laundering, Tether, the issuer of USDT, failed to freeze 34 of them until March 2024, and more than $34.6 million in crypto assets flowed out during that period. The investigation analyzed 846 wallets that US and Israeli authorities had identified as linked to the Iranian government or its proxy forces, and found that 84 percent of them transacted solely or almost solely in USDT. The report noted that relying only on freezes after designation cannot adequately prevent the outflow of funds, and called on stablecoin issuers to continuously monitor high-risk transactions by counterparties and their customers.

SEC Approves First 3x Leveraged Crypto ETPs as Bitcoin Holds Near $85,000

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday approved a Cboe BZX rule change allowing the exchange to list six triple-leveraged exchange-traded products from Volatility Shares, a first-of-its-kind step that could expand leveraged exposure to the world's largest cryptocurrency. The products target three times the daily performance of bitcoin, ether, gold, silver, crude oil and natural gas, with the bitcoin and ether products providing leveraged exposure through futures rather than directly holding the cryptocurrencies. The decision does not mean the products are immediately available for trading, as registration requirements must still be completed before shares can be publicly offered. Bitcoin traded at $84,860.5 as of 01:29 ET, little changed over the past 24 hours, after briefly climbing above $87,000 earlier in the week. The approval adds another potential route for investors seeking cryptocurrency exposure after the SEC separately proposed changes to crypto custody rules this week, a proposal that was a major focus for Bitcoin markets on Friday.
