Enhancing Security Measures
This concerning trend of increasing hacking attempts began after Upbit suffered a significant hack in 2019, resulting in a loss of 58 billion won, equivalent to approximately $50 million. Subsequently, the exchange took extensive measures to enhance its security, which included distributing hot wallets and operating them. Since 2019, Upbit has not experienced any further security breaches.
Focus on Cold Wallets
Among the measures implemented to bolster security, the exchange increased the percentage of funds retained in cold wallets by 70%. Cold wallets, storing private keys offline, are considered more secure than hot wallets, which keep keys online and are more vulnerable to breaches. Notably, most cryptocurrency exchange hacks have occurred in hot wallets, as seen in several incidents, such as the $70 million hack of Hong Kong-based CoinEx and the $200 million hack of Mixin Network in September 2023.
Government Intervention
The escalating number of cryptocurrency hack attempts in South Korea has prompted Representative Park Seong-jung to call upon the South Korean government to take significant measures to address the issue. Park stressed the need for the Ministry of Science and Technology to conduct large-scale mock tests and investigate information security conditions, particularly for virtual asset exchanges where hacking attempts are frequent.
Recent Incident and Losses
In a recent incident in late September 2023, Upbit encountered an issue when it failed to identify a fake token, “ClaimAPTGift.com,” present in 400,000 Aptos wallets. This led to the suspension of Aptos token services.

(@Kalshi)欧洲央行计划直接发行区块链欧元,称稳定币无法替代央行货币Techub News 消息,欧洲央行执行委员会成员伊莎贝尔·施纳贝尔在杰克逊霍尔研讨会上表示,欧洲央行希望直接在区块链上发行欧元,作为代币化市场的结算资产。她强调,只有央行能创造此类资产,并指出稳定币应被视为央行货币的补充而非替代品,因其在危机中无法像央行一样扩大供应。

(Cointelegraph)目标 hospitality($TH) 将其现有股东持有的700万股二次发行价格确定为每股14美元。通过此次交易,出售股东将获得总计9800万美元(约合1448亿韩元)的总销售收入,但公司不会获得任何资金流入。 此次发行并非公司发行新股的方式,而是将现有股东持股投放市场的“二次发行”。因此,目标 hospitality 不会从此次出售所得中获得任何额外收益。市场通常将这种结构解读为一项侧重于现有投资者股权整理而非公司融资的交易。 发行总量为700万股,截止日期预定为2026年4月23日。主承销商团队中,摩根士丹利和德意志银行担任联席账簿管理人,多家证券公司被列为联合主承销商。承销团还持有在未来30天内额外购买105万股的超额配售选择权。 按发行价格计算,总交易规模为9800万美元。按美元兑韩元汇率1477.40韩元折算,约为1448亿韩元。如果包括105万股额外期权在内的所有股份都被行使,则可能增加1470万美元,约合217亿韩元。 此次交易基于2019年4月10日首次提交并于同年5月16日生效的S-3表格上架注册文件进行。上架注册是一种允许公司或现有股东在需要时根据市场情况迅速出售证券的注册方式。 市场认为,此次二次发行相比目标 hospitality 基本面的变化,其更大意义在于流通股数量的扩大和大股东的出售信号。不过,由于没有资金直接流入公司,未来的股价反应很可能取决于业绩走势以及现有股东进一步出售的可能性。 TP AI 注意事项 本文使用基于 TokenPost.ai 的语言模型进行摘要。正文的主要内容可能被遗漏或与事实不符。
