It will be a huge relief to those who had their money in the exchange when the hack happened. This will also restore the confidence of people that cryptocurrency have a way of fighting for people through the authorities just like they intervened in this case. What is just not clear now is if they will pay the dollar equivalent of whatever asset one hold in that exchange or pay them in their respective cryptocurrencies and their amount. I have the feeling that they will use the first option which is similar to what Mt.Gox proposed.
I'm not actually sure how they eventually did pay but people got it already. Just coming off Twitter now and I realized some people lost that money to Bybit hack the next day😹 Damn that's tuff.
Perhaps they should have taken Bitget's deposit deal in this article instead
