Dragonfly Partner: No "Hackageddon" for DeFi, 2026 Projected Theft Annualized at ~$1.89 Billion

Odaily Planet Daily News Haseeb posted on X platform, stating that with models such as GLM 5.2, Fable, and GPT 5.6 already online and being actively used by attackers, the anticipated "Hackageddon" for DeFi has not materialized. Chart data shows that based on current year-to-date figures and operational rates, the annualized amount stolen from DeFi in 2026 is projected to be approximately $1.89 billion, with cumulative theft this year amounting to around $986 million. This figure is lower than the 2025 level and remains within the historical range. Haseeb stated that the deeper change currently is that while the number of hacker attacks has increased, the scale of individual attacks is declining more rapidly. Attackers are increasingly targeting smaller protocols and abandoned projects, while larger protocols have implemented more substantial security hardening. Therefore, the overall security of funds has not significantly deteriorated.
