Again a cryptocurrency exchanges got hacked some hours ago. This time, the 6th biggest cryptocurrency exchange, Bithumb, was the victim. $30 worth of cryptocurrencies (mainly XRP) got stolen. Bithumb is going to pay back all the losses of their users. But again, the flaws of the centralized exchanges as well as the Bitcoin network got exposed… We still have a lot of work to do before we are a safe and sustainable industry. Things will come.

  1. These exchanges need to do a better job. Coinbase/Gdax is able to function with 3% of their total assets online and 98% in cold storage. If GDAX is hacked most a hacker can get is 3% and that 3% has commercial criminal insurance greater than the value of digital currency they keep online. Bitmex has a similar security strategy although I'm not sure if they are insured against hacks.
