Bithumb CEO apologizes for erroneous bitcoin pay out; vows compensation

The chief of local cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb apologized Wednesday for the company's accidental payout of 60 trillion won ($41.2 billion) in bitcoins, as he vowed to compensate customers who suffered losses due to a sell-off of the tokens. "I sincerely apologize to the people who may be deeply distressed by the erroneous payout made during our promotional event as the person who bears the ultimate responsibility," Lee Jae-won, chief executive officer of Bithumb, said in a parliamentary hearing on the incident. "We acknowledge that our internal control system overseeing ledger balances was unable to detect that more tokens (than available) were credited," he added. Lee said his company plans to compensate customers who suffered losses from a sharp drop in bitcoin prices, including around 30 people who used its cryptocurrency lending service and experienced a forced liquidation of their assets. "We will set a broader scope for victim relief and provide compensation based on various complaints being received through the Financial Supervisory Service and our customer service center." Ear

Cardano May Be At A Prime Buying Point, Analyst Says

Reports say Cardano’s price has slid low enough that a fresh wave of buyers is talking about picking up ADA on weakness. Crypto Jebb, a YouTuber with a big following, argues current levels create an attractive “buy the dip” opportunity because the downside looks smaller than the upside from here. Related Reading: After Predicting XRP’s Drop, Analyst Says The Bottom May Be In He notes ADA sits more than 90% below its all-time high and roughly 77% under its December 2024 level near $1.32. That gap, he says, changes how risk looks for someone adding to a long-term position. Market Structure Shows Patterns Traders Recognize Weekly charts are at the center of the case being made. Reports note ADA has a history of long consolidation before large rebounds, and some of those moves returned 100% or more. Momentum readings have been on flat surface lately, which can mean selling pressure is easing after long falls. Support zones have held in prior cycles and buying interest later helped push prices higher. These are technical signs only; they do not promise a repeat. Still, for many traders this setup signals an asymmetric bet — limited room to lose in proportion to the reward if things flip. On-Chain Signals And Broader Context According to various commentaries, the bullish view is not based solely on price charts. Relative weakness against Bitcoin is being watched closely. ADA is at historic lows versus BTC, a level that in prior cycles preceded big runs when capital flowed back into altcoins. Analysts point to RSI bottoms and matching time cycles as further clues that a turning point could be forming. Reports also emphasize that broader market calm and continued interest in altcoins are necessary to make these patterns matter. Price Targets And Reward Estimates Reports say price scenarios stretch from $1.50 up to near $2 over the coming 12 to 24 months if momentum returns. From recent levels near $0.33, those targets imply gains greater than 300% in a favorable environment. Risk-to-reward figures above eight times have been floated by some commentators who calculate potential upside against possible downside from current prices. Those numbers are attractive on paper, but they depend on macro factors and renewed investor appetite for alternative tokens. Where The Argument Is Thin And How To Frame Risk Reports note the trade is mainly pattern-driven and light on fresh on-chain growth or developer activity as proof that a major rally is coming. That matters. If ecosystem adoption or meaningful protocol updates are missing, past chart patterns may fail to repeat.

Some investors treat this as a buy-the-dip window; others view it as a high-risk stance that must be managed carefully. Crypto Jebb sees Cardano’s current slide as a good entry point, with limited downside compared to potential gains. He suggests long-term investors consider adding ADA now, while stressing that careful risk management is still essential. Featured image from Newsbit, chart from TradingView
