BITHUMB ACCIDENTALLY SENDS OUT 2000 BTC TO USERS WHO IMMEDIATELY MARKET DUMP
A major operational mistake at South Korea’s crypto exchange Bithumb reportedly led to the accidental distribution of 2,000 BTC ($130M) instead of 2,000 KRW ($1.50) as a rewards payout.
According to multiple reports, a staff member intended to issue a small random prize worth about $1.50 but mistakenly entered BTC as the unit.
As a result, hundreds of users received unexpected Bitcoin payouts, totaling roughly 2,000 BTC, valued near $130M at current prices.
Recipients immediately sold, causing Bitcoin on Bithumb to crash more than 10% below global market prices before stabilizing.
The incident highlights how internal ledger errors and off-chain accounting can still create severe market dislocations, even in 2026, with no corresponding on-chain movement of real Bitcoin.
A costly reminder that exchange risk remains very real.
To all the @MetaDAOProject supporters who found my take on @ranger_finance funny
I won't change my mind just because people committed $86M (with ~$60M of that in the last 40 minutes) to the ICO
The success of a project isn't measured by how much it raises in an ICO, it's measured by its long-term growth and sustainable performance
What I know is that today, the team behind a project that's been basically dead (with literally 0 volume and near-zero revenue since November) will start receiving $250k/month funded by ICO proceeds, while their entire historical platform revenue has been less than $250k total
This is not a success, and Solana shouldn't celebrate this "achievement" when there are far better projects actually building in the ecosystem
I'll wait a few weeks before commenting on the $RNGR chart, since it will eventually show the true face of this project
Congrats to those who joined the ICO and managed a good flip! And no, I didn't lose money on Polymarket, there's something called limit orders ;)
This is Justin Sun, richest person in crypto...
Yesterday he stole $120M with $XPL scam
I spent night analyzing his wallets and trades...
Here's Justin's crimes, secrets and how to get money back 🧵👇
This wallet, presumed to be associated with Justin Sun, just longed millions of $XPL on Hyperliquid, clearing the entire order book and liquidating everyone.
He then started closing his long, making $16M in just one minute. $XPL pumped to $1.80, which is over 200% in 2 minutes
He is still long 15.2M $XPL ($10.2M), one of the craziest liquidation events I’ve ever seen on Hyperliquid
