CertiK counted $1.32B in crypto hack losses in H1 2026
That is down 46.8% year over year, but CertiK says the drop is misleading because 2025 included the $1.4B Bybit hack. The Kelp DAO and Drift attacks drove Q2 losses up 59% to $807.5M. TRM Labs, using a narrower definition, puts H1 losses at $972M and North Korea-linked theft at about $643M, around 66% of the total.

Ethereum core developers postponed the Glamsterdam upgrade on the Hoodi testnet
It was scheduled for Oct 26 at 17:42:48 UTC (epoch 132,352). Developers decided on call ACDE #248 to delay it “to allow for further investigation of interactions of EIP-8037 with mainnet smart contracts.” No new activation date has been set, and the post sets no mainnet date for Glamsterdam. It says mainnet users and ETH holders need to take no action. Operators running Hoodi nodes or validators should update to client releases that confirm the postponement.
