WS #14809
The Bitget exchange suffered a massive security breach with losses climbing to $387 million, with North Korea identified as a likely perpetrator. While stablecoin issuers Circle and Tether froze a small portion of the stolen funds, the incident underscores the persistent security vulnerabilities in centralized crypto platforms. This event is expected to increase regulatory pressure on exchanges and may dampen short-term sentiment in the broader crypto market.
