South Korean crypto exchange Bithumb said it will fully refund customers affected by a major Bitcoin distribution error that mistakenly credited users with billions of dollars’ worth of BTC. The glitch was quickly identified, trading was paused, and most of the wrongly allocated funds were recovered. Bithumb pledged compensation for losses caused by panic selling, fee waivers, and additional safeguards, while promising system upgrades and cooperation with regulators investigating the incident.
