[1] A bitcoin misallocation at South Korea’s major cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb has laid bare structural vulnerabilities in centralized crypto trading, where internal ledger entries can become market-moving events within minutes.

[2] The incident occurred during a routine event payout. An intended reward of 2,000 won ($1.20) per user was mistakenly entered as 2,000 bitcoin, resulting in about 620,000 bitcoins being credited to 249 customer accounts.

incident: 사건

routine: 일상적인

[3] Bithumb said it intervened in just minutes, but about 1,788 bitcoins were sold during the brief window, pushing prices down by as much as 17 percent at one point.

[4] The prices have now been stabilized, yet Bithumb said it recovered only 99.7 percent of the misallocated bitcoin, and about 125 coins remain unretrieved.

retrieve: 되찾다
