💰 The incident at Bithumb, where users were credited with 620 000 phantom BTC for 20 minutes, was caused by an operational error, not fraud, and has nothing to do with the FTX collapse, analysts believe.
However, the glitch revealed a systemic vulnerability of centralized exchanges: internal balances exist only as database entries and can participate in trading even without on-chain backing.
Such an architectural problem is typical for all CEX and persists until funds are withdrawn to the blockchain.

🇷🇺 In Russia, an increase in the detection rate of corruption crimes is recorded, while the schemes themselves are increasingly moving into the digital realm, including cryptocurrency settlements.
According to law enforcement agencies, bribes and kickbacks are increasingly passing through chains of shell companies and crypto wallets, especially in the sphere of public procurement and infrastructure contracts.
Experts note that crypto is used as a tool to complicate traces and mask beneficiaries, which makes the investigation of multi-level schemes significantly more difficult.
