Woofun AI notes that Dragonfly partner Haseeb disputes the predicted "hacker apocalypse" in DeFi, citing that advanced AI models like GLM 5.2 and GPT 5.6 have not triggered a security collapse. Data indicates an annualized theft projection of $1.89 billion for 2026, with year-to-date losses at $986 million, remaining below 2025 levels and within historical norms.

Haseeb observes that while attack frequency has risen, individual loss scales have decreased significantly. Attackers now primarily target smaller or abandoned protocols, whereas larger entities have implemented robust security enhancements, maintaining overall fund safety.
