Rekt
Crypto slang for suffering a devastating financial loss, typically from a bad trade or protocol exploit.
Explained Simply
Rekt (a deliberate misspelling of 'wrecked') describes losing a significant amount of money in crypto. This can happen through leveraged trading gone wrong, rug pulls, protocol hacks, or holding a collapsing token. The term is used both for individual losses and large-scale events — 'the protocol got rekt' when millions are stolen in a hack. Sites like Rekt News document major protocol exploits and losses. Getting rekt is often a learning experience that reinforces the importance of risk management.
