In response to concerns that it would stoke further fear, CZ added: "1.5 billion is fear enough. Better to be safe than sorry now."
Arkham data shows that Bybit still has $20 billion in assets, and the company's CEO, Ben Zhou, said that the exchange "is solvent even if this hack loss is not recovered."
Blockchain sleuth ZachXBT revealed that the hacker is beginning to split up the stolen ether, with two batches of 10,000 ETH being split up across 48 addresses. $200 million worth of mETH & stETH has also already been swapped on decentralized exchanges.
