Bithumb suspected of depositing 2,000 BTC into multiple accounts by mistake

South Korean crypto exchange Bithumb is suspected of having accidentally deposited 2,000 BTC into each of several hundred user accounts. The incident is believed to have caused the price of Bitcoin on the exchange to plummet by over 10% compared to other exchanges at around 10:30 a.m. UTC today. According to multiple cryptocurrency communities, the error may have occurred when Bithumb intended to distribute a 2,000 won prize for a random box event but mistakenly entered the unit as BTC. Some users who received the funds reported seeing a message stating their accounts were blocked from service. Bithumb has not yet issued an official statement on the matter.
