🚨South Korean Crypto Exchange Accidentally Gave Away $43 Billion in #Bitcoin

A South Korean🇰🇷 crypto exchange accidentally credited users with billions of dollars’ worth of Bitcoin this week, triggering a flash crash in the platform’s listed value of the token.

Instead of airdropping users 2,000 won (a sum worth $1.37 at writing), the exchange, Bithumb, reportedly sent 2,000 BTC apiece, users said. That massive sum was worth some $142 million at writing, with Bitcoin trading around $71,000 as of Friday when the issue was first disclosed.#EthereumLayer2Rethink?
