Even as Trump embraces crypto, attracting millions of new investors, the Bybit hack and memecoins show how crypto remains the wild West of the financial world

Hours after Coinbase said the S.E.C. was dropping a lawsuit against it, another major cryptocurrency exchange reported a potentially record-setting theft.

Since the hack (10 hrs ago) , Bybit has experienced the most number of withdraws that we have ever seen, We have had a total number of more than 350k withdraws requests, so far, around 2100 withdraw requests left to be processed.  Overall 99.  994% withdraws have been completed.  If your withdraws are completed, please leave a comments here.  Although we have been hit by the worst hack possibly in the history of any medians (banks, crypto, finance), But all Bybit functions and product remain functional, the Whole team had been awake all night to process and answer client questions and concerns.  ALL hands on DECK. rest assured, we are here with you.
