DUBAI, UAE, Feb. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, extends its heartfelt thanks to the global crypto community for the overwhelming support received in the wake of a recent security incident. This unprecedented show of solidarity has not only reinforced Bybit’s resilience but has also laid the foundation for stronger industry-wide measures to counter and prevent future hacking incidents. From institutional liquidity providers to leading blockchain security firms, the swift and coordinated response has exemplified the strength of the Web3 community.

A United Front Against Threats

As soon as the incident was detected, Bybit’s security team took immediate action—locking down systems, securing funds, and collaborating with top cybersecurity experts. The exchange received overwhelming support from key players across the industry, all working together to track, contain, and mitigate the impact of the exploit.

Ben Zhou, Co-Founder and CEO of Bybit, expressed his gratitude:

“It’s been a challenging period for Bybit, but one thing is clear—our partners have our backs. The support from Antalpha Global, Bitget, Pionex, MEXC, SoSoValue, Galaxy Digital, FalconX, Lido Finance, Solana Foundation, Ton Foundation, Ghaf Capital, Fenbushi, Bitvavocom, Tether and many others has been nothing short of incredible. Your trust, quick action, and solidarity mean everything. We’re moving forward, stronger and more determined than ever. Thank you for standing with us.”

Industry Leaders Take Immediate Action

Several major players in both DeFi and CeFi swiftly mobilized to prevent further movement of stolen funds and uphold market stability:

• Orbiter, deBridge, SynFutures, MYX, Thruster and Owlto blacklisted exploit-related addresses, preventing unauthorized transfers.
  
• Chainalysis rapidly tracked and published the exploiter’s wallet addresses, enabling a coordinated industry-wide response.
  
• SIS cross-chain bridge stepped up to block associated addresses, restricting the attacker’s ability to launder assets.
  
• Zero Shadows activated its 24/7/365 Global Response team, collaborating closely on Bad Actor Tracing and Identification, Funds Tracing, and Law Enforcement Communications to support the investigation and recovery efforts.
  
• Institutional clients, including TMSI, Bayside trading, Mathrix, Wintermute, Cumberland, GSR Markets, maintained their trading positions, reinforcing stability amid uncertainty.

“Their trust in us, despite the circumstances, speaks volumes about the maturity and resilience of this industry,” Ben added. “It shows a defining moment that proves crypto’s strongest players stand together when it matters most.”

A Community That Stands Together

Bybit also acknowledged the unwavering support from its VIP clients, traders, and broader user base. Messages of encouragement and patience from the community have been instrumental as the exchange works around the clock to enhance security measures and safeguard funds.

“While this has been a difficult moment, it is also a powerful reminder of why we are here—to build an open, resilient, and decentralized financial future,” Ben said. “The real work has just started, and with this level of unity in this space, we know we’ll come back even stronger.”

Bybit remains committed to transparency and will continue to provide updates as it implements additional security enhancements.

The Asset Operating System, aOS, unlocks global capital markets with intelligent, self-executing assets.

NEW YORK, Feb. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Platonic today introduced aOS™, a groundbreaking blockchain-native infrastructure that transforms static financial assets into programmable, AI-linked instruments capable of autonomous execution across markets. This innovation unlocks any asset to transact seamlessly, optimize value, and settle instantly—without manual intervention.

“The future of finance is autonomous, intelligent, and borderless,” said Violet Abtahi, CEO of Platonic. “We are architecting a world where value flows like information—aOS is the connective tissue of finance, enabling traditional institutions to participate in the digital-first economy, unlocking $400 trillion in assets that remain static, inefficient, and underutilized.”

A New Era for Financial Markets

Tomorrow’s financial system will look vastly different from the one we know today. A single, global capital market will emerge—one where assets are intelligent and autonomous. Tokenized ownership, real-time settlement, and AI-linked management will dissolve cross-border barriers, unlocking unprecedented liquidity and accessibility. Platonic’s aOS provides the infrastructure to bridge legacy systems into this autonomous economy—transforming static assets into dynamic, revenue-generating instruments for a truly global marketplace.

The platform’s patented architecture combines AI-linked smart contracts, unique privacy channels, and seamless private and public blockchain interoperability to automate complex financial processes that currently require extensive manual intervention. Early pilot programs with major financial institutions have demonstrated dramatic reductions in operational cost and counterparty risk, with one project successfully automating nearly $400 billion in foreign exchange trades.

AOS: The Foundation for the Autonomous Economy

The opportunity is extraordinary: tokenized assets are projected to reach up to $16 trillion by 2030, and aOS is designed to unlock this immense potential. By bridging legacy systems with decentralized networks, aOS empowers institutions to lead the shift into the digital-first era.

“Imagine a future where private equities, real estate holdings, and even personal financial data become dynamic, revenue-generating instruments,” said Abtahi. “That future is closer than we think, and aOS is the catalyst making it a reality.”

About Platonic

Platonic is a leading innovator in blockchain-based financial infrastructure, transforming the way global markets operate. By harnessing AI, secure encryption, and decentralized technologies, Platonic builds the bridge between legacy systems and digital finance. Its groundbreaking solutions empower institutions to evolve, stay ahead of change, and embrace the digital economy—converging traditional and digital ecosystems into a single, unified global capital market driven by intelligent, self-executing assets.
