Our Q2 2026 Security & Compliance Report has been released โฌ๏ธ
$763.9M was stolen across 67 incidents, the worst since Q2 2025. 88% of the losses came down to operations.
Smart contracts were still the most common failure point, 44/67 incidents, but they accounted for just 11% of the funds lost.
All of this happens as MiCA comes into force, where only about 20% of registered firms secured authorization, roughly 210 of the more than 1,200 that once declared intent.
This quarter's report is built around one idea, the Architecture of Trust: how security, compliance, and risk intelligence together influence which teams institutions are willing to work with.
Inside, we cover:
โซ๏ธMiCA/DORA and the GENIUS Act
โซ๏ธStablecoin regulations
โซ๏ธAI regulation across the EU and US
โซ๏ธHow allocators run due diligence
โซ๏ธWhat comes next in Q3 2026
As digital assets become more exposed to public markets, institutional capital increasingly follows issuers that can consistently demonstrate they remain safe and sound.
