The world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange, Bybit, expresses heartfelt gratitude to the global crypto community for the tremendous support shown in the wake of a recent security incident. This unprecedented display of unity not only strengthened Bybit's resilience but also laid the foundation for enhancing the entire industry's response to and prevention of future hacker attacks. From institutional liquidity providers to leading blockchain security companies, the swift and coordinated response showcased the power of the Web3 community.

United Response to the Threat

Upon discovering the incident, Bybit's security team took immediate action—locking down systems, safeguarding funds, and collaborating with top-tier cybersecurity experts. The exchange received immense support from key players in the industry, as everyone worked together to track, contain, and mitigate the impact of the vulnerability.

Bybit Co-founder and CEO Ben Zhou expresses his gratitude:

"For Bybit, this period has been challenging, but one thing is clear—our partners have been steadfast in supporting us. The support from numerous partners like Antalpha Global, Bitget, Pionex, MEXC, SoSoValue, Galaxy Digital, FalconX, Lido Finance, Solana Foundation, Ton Foundation, Ghaf Capital, Fenbushi, Bitvavo.com, Tether, and many others has been incredible. Your trust, prompt action, and unity are what drive us forward. We are moving ahead stronger and more resolute than ever before. Thank you for standing with us."

Industry Leaders Take Immediate Action

Several key players in the DeFi and CeFi sectors sprang into action swiftly to prevent the stolen funds from further circulation and maintain market stability:

Orbiter, deBridge, SynFutures, MYX, Thruster, and Owlto blacklisted addresses associated with the vulnerability to prevent unauthorized transfers.

Chainalysis rapidly traced and published the attacker's wallet address, enabling the entire industry to coordinate its response.

The SIS cross-chain bridge proactively blocked the relevant addresses, limiting the attacker's ability to launder funds.

Zero Shadows has launched a 24/7/365 global response team, closely collaborating on threat actor tracking and identification, fund tracing and law enforcement communication to support investigation and recovery efforts.

Institutional clients including TMSI, Bayside Trading, Mathrix, Wintermute, Cumberland, GSR Markets, among others, maintained trading positions, bolstering market stability in uncertain circumstances.

Ben added, "Despite facing challenges, their trust in us conveyed an important message — it demonstrated the industry's maturity and resilience. It showcased the strongest players in the crypto industry coming together in a critical moment."

A Unified Community

Bybit also extends its gratitude to its VIP clients, traders, and the wider user base for their unwavering support. The community's encouragement and patience played a crucial role as the exchange tirelessly reinforced security measures and fund protection.

"While this has been a tough moment, it has also deeply reminded us why we are here — to build an open, resilient, decentralized financial future," said Ben. "The real work is just beginning, and the unity displayed in this space gives us confidence that we will emerge stronger than ever before."

Bybit remains committed to transparency and will continue to provide updates as further security enhancements are implemented. The exchange is working closely with industry leaders to establish new crisis management standards, ensuring user safety and trust while enhancing the industry's overall resilience against future threats.

On June 9, The Kobeissi Letter, citing Goldman Sachs data, reported that global investors are selling South Korean stocks at an unusually rapid pace. In the latest trading session, foreign investors sold about $801 million worth of Kospi constituent stocks again; total foreign outflows last week reached about $10 billion, and the market has been in net foreign selling on nearly every trading day over the past month.
