CoinDCX admits $15.99M loss days after denying hack claims

CoinDCX has confirmed losing 15.99 million USDT through compromised wallet infrastructure after initially rejecting claims that nearly $16 million had been stolen from the Indian cryptocurrency exchange. CoinDCX confirmed losing 15.99 million USDT after initially dismissing reports of suspicious wallet transfers. A failed automated sweeping service allowed deposits to accumulate in wallets compromised during July 2025. Blockchain investigators traced continued activity through supposedly retired wallets, challenging CoinDCX's initial explanation. CoinDCX says it absorbed the losses, leaving customer balances, active wallets, and trading services unaffected.
