💥 The Biggest Losses in Crypto History
Several major events have caused massive financial damage, shaken investor confidence, and reshaped the crypto landscape. Here are some of the most notable ones:
🔥 1. Mt. Gox Hack (2014)
Loss: ~850,000 BTC (worth billions of dollars today)
What happened? At the time, Mt. Gox was the largest Bitcoin exchange. It was hacked and eventually went bankrupt.
Impact: A huge blow to trust in Bitcoin. Prices plummeted.
🔥 2. Terra / LUNA Collapse (2022)
Loss: Between $40–60 billion in market value evaporated
What happened? Terra’s algorithmic stablecoin UST lost its peg, triggering the collapse of LUNA (down over 99%).
Impact: Massive investor losses. Several crypto funds (3AC, Celsius, Voyager) went bankrupt in the aftermath.
🔥 3. FTX Exchange Collapse (2022)
Loss: ~$8–10 billion in customer funds missing
What happened? FTX misused customer deposits. CEO Sam Bankman-Fried was convicted of fraud.
Impact: Sparked regulatory crackdowns worldwide and eroded trust in centralized exchanges.
🔥 4. Ronin Network Hack (Axie Infinity – 2022)
Loss: ~$620 million
What happened? Hackers exploited private keys to compromise Ronin, the blockchain behind Axie Infinity.
Impact: Shook confidence in GameFi and NFT-based gaming projects.
🔥 5. Poly Network Hack (2021)
