$BTC gets a tougher rulebook after Bithumb’s costly mistake ⚡ South Korea’s central bank is pushing crypto exchanges to add circuit-breaker style protections after Bithumb’s 620,000 BTC operational error, signaling that the next phase of market growth may be defined by tighter controls, not just faster execution. For institutions, that’s a clear reminder: exchange risk is now part of the trade, and liquidity will likely favor platforms that can prove they can handle stress without chaos. Not financial advice. Manage your risk and protect your capital. #Bitcoin #CryptoNews #Bithumb #ExchangeSecurity #Web3 ✦ {future}(BTCUSDT)

Bithumb is still cleaning up after the 40 billion (Korean Won?) token issuance blunder, and is now officially suing just to recover the last 7 bitcoins. For 7 bitcoins, they are both suing and issuing announcements; this operational cost is a bit high. 😂 CEX's makeshift band has yet another classic case of risk. Compared to market fluctuations, this kind of internal risk control is the kind of hidden danger that is hard to guard against. #Bithumb $BTC {future}(BTCUSDT)

South Korea Temporarily Suspends Cryptocurrency Lending Services Due to Concerns Over Excessive LeverageSouth Korea has temporarily suspended new cryptocurrency lending services following a major liquidation event at the #Bithumb exchange, where over 13% of the 27,000 users were liquidated. This move is a direct response to increasing leverage risks in the market. Causes and Actions The Financial Services Commission (#FSC ) of South Korea stated that the suspension is necessary because the current user protection tools are "insufficient" and there are "concerns about harm to a healthy trading order." This decision will last until official guidelines on lending services are issued.

South Korea Temporarily Suspends Cryptocurrency Lending Services Due to Concerns Over Excessive Leverage

South Korea has temporarily suspended new cryptocurrency lending services following a major liquidation event at the #Bithumb exchange, where over 13% of the 27,000 users were liquidated. This move is a direct response to increasing leverage risks in the market.

Causes and Actions

The Financial Services Commission (#FSC ) of South Korea stated that the suspension is necessary because the current user protection tools are "insufficient" and there are "concerns about harm to a healthy trading order." This decision will last until official guidelines on lending services are issued.
🚨 $150 million mistake: Bithumb mistakenly issued large amounts of Bitcoin to users The "mystery box" (Random Box) event at South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb turned into the most expensive operational accident in history. Originally planned to issue rewards of about $15–35, some user accounts unexpectedly received 2000 BTC. Core event recap: Operational error: Due to a system failure, about 240 users received rewards far exceeding expectations. Market reaction: The price of BTC on the Bithumb platform experienced severe fluctuations. Officials urgently intervened within 5 minutes, restricting trading on related accounts and successfully preventing a chain liquidation. Latest developments: About 160 users have voluntarily returned approximately 400,000 BTC (Note: the scale of this data reported by the exchange is shocking). However, some users have successfully cashed out about $2.1 million (3 billion Korean won). Official statement: This incident was not a hacker attack. Bithumb emphasized the safety of user funds and assured that system security management is intact. Currently, the Financial Services Commission (FSC) of South Korea has intervened to investigate this serious incident.🔎 If it were you, seeing the addition of 2000 BTC in the notification bar, would you choose to return it voluntarily or cash out immediately? Feel free to discuss in the comments!👇 #Bithumb #加密货币新闻 #BTC #比特币 #交易所动态

【Bithumb Oolong Incident: Risk Control or Control?】 ​Bithumb employees mistakenly sent 2,000 KRW as 2,000 pieces $BTC , leading to a momentary misallocation of 620,000 bitcoins. Although the platform recovered 99.7% within 35 minutes, which is astonishing efficiency, the underlying logic revealed is more thought-provoking than the news itself. ​This is a game between "centralized risk control" and "human error." While the rapid recovery reduced losses, it also reminds investors: in CEX (Centralized Exchanges), the ultimate control of assets always lies with the platform. This is both a safety net and a transfer of sovereignty. ​In the face of such an ability to recover assets by simply "pressing the pause button," do you think this is a good thing for the crypto market? ​#BTC #Bithumb $BTC {future}(BTCUSDT)

Bithumb company crashBithumb accidentally distributed 2,000 BTC to users instead of $1.50 rewards 🚨 Here’s what actually happened: On February 6, 2026, around 10:30 UTC, Bithumb ran a “Random Box” promotional event. The reward was supposed to be 2,000 KRW. (Around $1.50) Instead, an internal operational mistake credited a total of 2,000 BTC across hundreds of user accounts. That’s ~$130 million. People immediately started selling. And the BTC price on Bithumb crashed almost instantly. At the exact moment of the incident: Bithumb BTC/KRW dropped to around $60,252 Global Bitcoin price stayed near $65,359 A 7–10% gap. But there are no TXIDs. No blockchain movement showing 2,000 BTC leaving Bithumb wallets. Nothing. It was an internal ledger credit. Basically, Bithumb’s database told users they had Bitcoin. But the Bitcoin network never saw it. - Internal paper BTC shock Users could sell the credited “BTC” inside Bithumb’s order book. So selling pressure exploded inside their closed system. Market makers got overwhelmed. Liquidity disappeared. Price crashed. But withdrawals and arbitrage couldn’t fix it fast because: - accounts were frozen - withdrawals were blocked - Korean exchanges are more isolated by regulation So the crash stayed trapped inside Bithumb. - Bithumb response Bithumb quickly froze affected accounts. But who eats the loss? Some reports claim Bithumb holds around 46,000 BTC in reserves.

Global Bitcoin price stayed near $65,359
A 7–10% gap.

But withdrawals and arbitrage couldn’t fix it fast because:
- accounts were frozen
- withdrawals were blocked
- Korean exchanges are more isolated by regulation
So the crash stayed trapped inside Bithumb.

But who eats the loss?
Some reports claim Bithumb holds around 46,000 BTC in reserves.
(But that number is not verified at all)
