Crypto exchanges Bitget and Liquid Network suffered major security breaches in September 2026, resulting in combined losses exceeding $768 million, according to CoinTelegraph. Bitget accounted for $388 million of the total, while the Liquid Network exploit caused $320 million in losses.
Notably, more than $270 million of the funds lost in the Liquid Network hack were later recovered, mitigating some of the overall damage. These incidents highlight ongoing vulnerabilities in the crypto sector's infrastructure.
For Japanese investors and traders, these large-scale hacks underline the importance of robust security measures and due diligence when engaging with international crypto platforms, especially amid growing market participation from Japan.
