A massive amount of crypto was robbed this year, and most of it went to North Korea. The country accounted for roughly 59% of the more than $3.4 billion in stolen crypto, according to Chainalysis’ 2026 Crypto Crime Report released on Thursday.
“North Korea’s sophistication and efficacy in laundering the proceeds from these incidents is continuing to improve,” said Andrew Fierman, head of national security intelligence at Chainalysis. “The industry needs to continue ensuring that they have better security controls.”
