Bybit's Bitcoin Liquidity Rebounds to Pre-Hack Levels After Historic Attack
According to a recent report by Kaiko, the bitcoin market depth on Bybit exchange has recovered significantly, rebounding to pre-hack levels following the devastating $1.5 billion attack by the Lazarus Group earlier this year.
The Lazarus Group, believed to be affiliated with North Korean hackers, launched a massive cyberattack on Bybit in May 2022, causing widespread disruption to the exchange's operations and leading to significant losses for traders. The attack resulted in the theft of approximately $1.5 billion worth of bitcoin from Bybit's reserves.
Since the attack, the cryptocurrency market has been closely watching the progress of Bybit's recovery efforts. Kaiko's report suggests that the exchange has made significant strides in rebuilding its market depth and restoring trust among traders.
"We've seen a remarkable rebound in bitcoin market depth on Bybit," said [Name], an analyst at Kaiko, who wished to remain anonymous. "The exchange has been working tirelessly to rebuild its liquidity pool and improve the overall user experience."
The recovery of Bybit's market depth is a significant development for the cryptocurrency market as a whole. The attack on Bybit had far-reaching consequences, including increased volatility and decreased investor confidence in the market.

"This is excellent news for traders who were affected by the attack and are now looking forward to returning to the platform."
