In June 2018, the platform reported a theft of approximately $30 million in cryptocurrency stemming from unauthorized access to its online wallets. More recently, during a promotional event in February 2026, Bithumb mistakenly credited a user with 620,000 BTC instead of 620,000 Korean won, with roughly $9 million remaining unrecovered; the incident reportedly triggered a temporary localized BTC price drop of between 15% and 17% on the platform.
