A crypto holder tracked by on-chain watchers as the TLBL whale appears to have suffered another major theft, with estimates for the latest loss ranging from about $25.6 million to more than $26 million. Lookonchain said three TLBL-linked wallets were drained and that the breach appears to have involved a compromised private key. PeckShield put the loss at about $25.6 million, including roughly $6.3 million in aWBTC, $5.1 million in DAI, $4.7 million in WBTC and $2.6 million in ETH, along with other tokens such as aUSDC, sDAI, USDS and cbBTC. PeckShield said part of the stolen funds had already been swapped into 20 million DAI and about 3,000 ETH and spread across four addresses. The same holder was previously hit in a phishing attack two years ago that stole 9,579 stETH worth $15.54 million and 4,851 rETH worth $8.51 million. Lookonchain estimated the two incidents together amount to about $50.3 million in losses. The case comes amid a sharp rise in crypto theft this year: Blockaid said hackers stole $1.1 billion across 212 incidents in the first half of 2026, with privileged key misuse accounting for roughly $790 million, or about three-quarters of the total.
