A Bithumb employee accidentally sent around 2,000 $BTC to hundreds of users during an airdrop instead of the intended token, causing Bitcoin to drop about 10% on the exchange. Some users reported receiving 2,000 $BTC rather than the expected 2,000 KRW. The mishap triggered a sharp price reaction locally on Bithumb, though Bitcoin’s broader market remained relatively stable.
