The crypto world has experienced a series of negative events recently. Bybit, a leading crypto derivatives exchange, fell victim to a cyberattack resulting in the largest crypto hack ever, with $1.5 billion stolen. Additionally, Bitcoin dropped below $90k for the first time since November 2024, causing comparisons to the catastrophic Terra/Luna collapse, which led to huge investor losses and bankruptcy for the crypto exchange FTX. The Terra/Luna crash had systemic repercussions, shaking the entire crypto market and prompting a reassessment of risk. The Bybit hack raised concerns about centralized exchange security practices and may lead to stricter security requirements. While market volatility persists, the crypto market has historically demonstrated resilience following security breaches. Readers are advised to exercise caution and consider increased regulation and decentralized finance alternatives.
