Crypto Hacks Drop 85% in October as Market Faces Historic $20 Billion Crash — TradingView News
October 2025 turned out to be a quieter month for crypto security breaches — but not without drama. According to data shared by blockchain security firm PeckShield, around 15 major exploits drained nearly $18.18 million in total. While this figure sounds alarming, it actually marks a massive 85.7% drop compared to September’s staggering $127 million in losses.
$20 Billion Vanished in Hours
While hack numbers fell sharply, October 10 became one of the darkest days in crypto history. A sudden market crash erased over $20 billion in leveraged trades within hours, marking the largest liquidation event ever recorded.
The chaos overshadowed even the biggest exploits of the month, proving once again how unpredictable the crypto space can be.
