Bitcoin headed for its biggest one-day drop since August on Tuesday, driven by nervousness over U.S. tariffs and results from Nvidia, as last week's hack of $1.5 billion worth of ether from the Bybit exchange delivered a blow to investor confidence.

Following the revelation Friday from cryptocurrency exchange firm Bybit that hackers stole digital tokens worth about $1.5 billion – in what may be the biggest crypto heist of all time – CEO Ben Zhou wrote on X Sunday that it has replenished its reserves. Bybit was able to do this through a mix of emergency loans and large deposits.

Bybit’s $1.4 billion hack, the largest in crypto history, might have unexpected implications for Ethereum. As the exchange moves to recover, could this be a bullish catalyst for ETH?

Cryptocurrency exchange Bybit said last week hackers had stolen digital tokens worth around $1.5 billion, in what researchers called the biggest crypto heist of all time.

Ben Zhou, Bybit's CEO, said that the hack had affected around 401,000 Ethereum and sparked a surge in withdrawal requests.

Bybit, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, experienced a hack Friday in which over $1.4 billion worth of crypto was stolen, according to blockchain-analytics firms. It’s the latest incident for an industry struggling with security concerns that present hurdles to mainstream adoption.
