CoinShares: Last week, digital asset investment products saw a net outflow of $508 million
According to CoinShares' latest weekly report, digital asset investment products experienced a total outflow of $508 million last week, bringing the total outflow over the past two weeks to $924 million.
By region, the outflow was mainly concentrated in the United States, with an outflow of $560 million, but this negative sentiment was not reflected in Europe, which continued to see healthy inflows, especially in Germany and Switzerland, with inflows of $30.5 million and $15.8 million, respectively.
Bybit CEO: Has returned to 1:1 rigid redemption, will soon launch a website tracking stolen funds
Bybit CEO Ben Zhou stated in a community AMA that they have received the latest asset proof audit report, which will soon be updated on the official website. Bybit has returned to 1:1 rigid redemption, and in the past 24 hours, Bybit's fund inflow ranked first among global CEXs.
Bybit will launch a website tracking stolen funds and will update recovery progress and other data. Users providing effective clues can receive a reward.
Bybit's new coin public announcement section will regularly release performance and financial reports of launched projects, covering five major dimensions: core financial data, token metrics, on-chain activity and network health, governance and community, as well as risk disclosure and future roadmap.
Infini founder Christian tweeted that since the theft, withdrawal requests have accumulated to $500,000, all of which have been responded to, and there are still many wallets continuing to deposit funds.
Currently, all product consumption and withdrawals are proceeding as usual, with the only affected part being the wealth management section (as contracts have been suspended and no further fund transfers are made to prevent secondary risks), which will require some time to propose and implement a more appropriate solution.
"What are some interesting articles worth reading in the past 24 hours"
In this token issuance storm, is Kanye a pawn under celebrity effect, or a carefully orchestrated operator?
eXch publicly disclosed Bybit's request and refused to cooperate. In their reply to Bybit's email, eXch mentioned that due to their users being banned by Bybit, they would not provide any assistance.
The industry's attitude towards celebrity tokens is gradually turning negative.
Every successful memecoin often marks the beginning of a new narrative, with at least one influential "Caller" gathering attention.
Its transparent crisis communication calmed user panic, industry collaboration demonstrated the resilience of the ecosystem, and the maturity of the market kept investors rational, while Bybit's own financial strength provided a solid buffer.
