2 hours ago

**February 7th** South Korean crypto exchange Bithumb has issued updates on its accidental Bitcoin airdrop incident: The platform has reported the matter to all relevant authorities and is fully cooperating with the Financial Services Commission’s (FSC) investigation. Bithumb says it will prevent human errors from escalating into accidents through robust systems and processes. The company will take full responsibility for customer losses: A sharp market price drop triggered panic selling under unfavorable conditions for users, and Bithumb will fully compensate affected customers—including additional compensation. Estimated losses total approximately 1 billion Korean won ($680,000). Bithumb also plans to establish a permanent 100 billion Korean won Customer Protection Fund to immediately safeguard customer assets in case of future accidents. In related news, Bithumb confirms it mistakenly airdropped 3% of Bitcoin’s total supply to users. It has recovered 99.7% of the airdropped amount, and accounts linked to improper profits have been frozen.

On February 7, The New York Times reported that on-chain prediction platforms operate in an emerging space with no clear NBA regulatory rules, placing the sector in a gray area. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver now faces a key dilemma: whether players converting their trades into financial products violates league regulations. Reports indicate Giannis Antetokounmpo—nicknamed "The Greek Freak"—specifically announced his stake in sports prediction platform Kalshi Sports after the NBA’s player trade deadline, when all betting markets had settled, thereby avoiding direct compliance scrutiny during the trade window. Wagering on whether Antetokounmpo would be traded before the deadline topped $23.31 million on Kalshi, while the Milwaukee Bucks announced hours prior to the deadline they would not trade the two-time MVP this season.
