Blockchain Deposit Insurance Corporation (BDIC) CEO Issues Call to Action After ByBit Hack Sparks FUD Panic

February 24, 2025 By Business Wire

HAMILTON CITY, Bermuda--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The following statement was issued by Blockchain Deposit Insurance Corporation (BDIC) CEO Jeffrey A. Glusman after the unraveling of the high-profile hack on ByBit by the notorious Lazarus Group. In response to the incident, which saw over $1.4 billion stolen and triggered withdrawals totaling more than $5.5 billion, Glusman calls on the crypto community to embrace enhanced insurance solutions for digital asset security.



“We sincerely appreciate the cryptocurrency exchange executives, advisors, and affiliate partners who have engaged with BDIC since our January launch. Recent events, including the ByBit hack and the subsequent $5+ billion panic-driven run on crypto accounts, have intensified our discussions with industry leaders, highlighting the critical need for proactive solutions.

Regardless of how effectively ByBit handled communication and user experience post-hack, it's clear that additional measures must be implemented. Our conversations have focused on how BDIC’s insurance solutions could mitigate incidents like this and emphasized the importance of initiatives such as the BDIC Pledge Initiative, which reinforce our commitment to building a secure cryptocurrency ecosystem.

We look forward to continuing these strategic dialogues, recognizing that proactive collaboration is essential to strengthen the market, prevent future disruptions, and instill confidence necessary for widespread cryptocurrency adoption.
