The cryptocurrency market witnessed one of the largest hacks in its history in March 2025, with the Bybit platform suffering a massive loss of $1.46 billion, raising concerns among investors and traders about the security of their digital assets.
📉 What happened?
Unknown hackers managed to exploit a security vulnerability in the platform's system, resulting in the withdrawal of huge amounts of cryptocurrency without detection in a timely manner.
⚠️ Are we seeing a repeat of the FTX and Mt.Gox tragedies?
The massive hack brought back memories of the collapse of the FTX platform in 2022 and the Mt.Gox scandal in 2014, making questions about the security of centralized platforms more important than ever.
🏦 Is the refuge in decentralized platforms?
With these events, the trend towards decentralized exchanges (DEXs) like Uniswap and PancakeSwap is increasing, where there is no central authority controlling the funds, which may reduce the risk of major hacks.
🔍 How to protect your money?
