September was the worst month, with $768.5 million stolen, including a $387.5 million hack on Bitget, which accounted for 31% of the quarter's losses. Despite rising breaches, blockchain insurance coverage dropped 20% year-over-year to $130.2 million. Bitcoin gained 40% in Q3, showing resilience amid security challenges, but experts warn that ongoing hacks, increasingly involving AI, could impact future regulations and institutional trust.
