🪙 Korea's crypto exchange Bithumb said it has recovered nearly all of the 620,000 BTC, worth over $40 billion, mistakenly sent to users.

The exchange recovered 618,212 BTC and recouped 93% of 1,788 $BTC sold by users. 125 BTC remain unrecovered.

The error stemmed from a promo meant to pay users just ₩2,000 ($1.50), but winners instead received at least 2,000 BTC each.$BTC
