Record 29 Crypto Hacks in April Pressure ETH Sentiment, Bitcoin Remains Resilient

April 2026 crypto hacks hit a record 29 incidents totaling $629.7M in losses, with Lazarus Group behind 95% via major DeFi exploits on KelpDAO ($293M) and Drift Protocol ($280M). Initial reports flagged these as the biggest monthly toll since February 2025's Bybit heist, shifting attacks to off-chain infrastructure and amplifying market fear. While Ethereum and DeFi tokens face weakened sentiment, Bitcoin shows strong resilience, with prediction markets pricing 99.8–100% odds of holding above $68,000 on May 1.
