Bybit is also <a href=\"https:\/\/defillama.com\/cexs\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\">the highest<\/a> among all centralized exchanges (CEXs), with Binance and MEXC standing in second and third place, respectively.

This marks a minimal decrease compared to the previous month but is still a positive indication amid the downturn of the overall crypto market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bybit\u2019s long-short ratio also stood at a high place, in the top 3, at 47.45% long versus 52.55% short. This near-even split suggests that Bybit maintains a robust trading environment where neither longs nor shorts overwhelmingly dominate, reducing the risk of sudden, manipulative liquidations. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike other less reputable exchanges, which are known for abrupt \u201cFuture killing\u201d events\u2014where leveraged positions are wiped out due to sharp, artificial price swings\u2014Bybit\u2019s stable ratio and liquidity ensure smoother market dynamics.

He clarified that only a single cold wallet was compromised and reassured users of the platform\u2019s solvency, which helped mitigate panic and rebuild trust. This transparency likely continued into March, with regular updates on security enhancements and fund recovery efforts. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By maintaining open communication, Bybit aimed to reassure users, encouraging them to stay active on the platform rather than abandoning it due to distrust.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Bybit Hack Forensics Report<br \/>As promised, here are the preliminary reports of the hack conducted by <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sygnia_labs?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\">@sygnia_labs<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Verichains?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\">@Verichains<\/a><br \/>Screenshotted the conclusion and here is the link to the full report: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3hcqkXLN5U\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/3hcqkXLN5U<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tlZK2B3jIW\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/tlZK2B3jIW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ben Zhou (@benbybit) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/benbybit\/status\/1894768736084885929?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow external noopener noreferrer\">February 26, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><b>Crisis Management and User Focus<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bybit processed over 580,000 withdrawal requests efficiently, restoring normal withdrawal operations within 12 hours after the hack. They also offered a 10% reward (up to 140 million USD) for information leading to asset recovery. These proactive steps demonstrated their commitment to users, helping stabilize the platform and encouraging a return of trust by March.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Learn more: <a href=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/bybit-hack-updates\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bybit Hack Updates: Repurchasing ETH to Cover 100% On Client Assets<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Bybit offers a diverse token listing portfolio and investment opportunities, featuring both top-tier and lower-tier projects, low-cap tokens not listed on top exchanges like Binance or OKX. However, this strategy doesn\u2019t compromise Bybit\u2019s quality, thanks to its policy of continuously monitoring and promptly delisting underperforming projects to protect users such as EVERY, BUBBLE and COMBO).<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, all projects undergo rigorous vetting by Bybit\u2019s team before listing, avoiding meaningless meme tokens (unlike Binance\u2019s recent memecoin bullishness) or high-risk projects like Pi Network (listed on OKX and Bitget). As a result, users find both opportunity and safety, motivating them to stay with Bybit.<\/p>\n<div class=\"b-cta-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"b-cta b-cta--inline\">\n<div class=\"b-cta__image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/recommends\/bybit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/bybit-logo-white-300x300.jpg\" class=\"image-fit wp-post-image\" alt=\"bybit-logo-white\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/bybit-logo-white-300x300.jpg\" class=\"lazyload image-fit wp-post-image\" alt=\"bybit-logo-white\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3><b>Strong Liquidity Management<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite a massive withdrawal of over 5.5 billion USD by users post-hack, Bybit maintained sufficient reserves to remain liquid. Audits from Hacken and DeFiLlama data confirmed that their asset base, though reduced from 16.9 billion USD to 11.2 billion USD initially, was still robust enough to handle the crisis without collapsing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, Bybit quickly replenished its reserves with over 4 billion USD in emergency funding from partners like Bitget and Binance within days of the hack. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In March, they might have leveraged this restored liquidity to offer promotional incentives\u2014such as reduced trading fees, deposit bonuses, or staking rewards\u2014to entice users back. These perks would signal financial stability and reward user loyalty during the recovery phase.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Enhanced Security Measures as a Selling Point<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Post-hack, Bybit collaborated with blockchain analytics firms and implemented stricter security protocols. In March, they likely promoted these upgrades to users, emphasizing a safer trading environment. Highlighting improved cold wallet protections or real-time fraud detection could have reassured users, encouraging them to resume trading without fear of further breaches.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Community Engagement and Recovery Campaigns<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bybit launched a 10% bounty program (up to 140 million USD) to recover stolen funds, rallying the crypto community. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They also introduced hundreds of trading campaigns for both loyal users and new users, aiming to raise them back to the exchange. Engaging users as active participants in the recovery process could have fostered loyalty and kept them invested in the platform.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/nftevening.com\/5-reasons-bybit-recovered-after-hack\/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=5-reasons-bybit-recovered-after-hack\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite experiencing a historic hack worth over $1.4 billion at the end of February, Bybit made a remarkable comeback in March, leading all exchanges in inflow ahead of Binance and MEXC.
