Bitget Loses $352M in Hack as APAC Tops Crypto Adoption Index
AI take
The Bitget loss lands as a reminder that exchange security remains the sector's unresolved operational risk, and the timing is awkward given APAC's newly documented weight in global adoption — the region carrying the most activity is also where a major venue just absorbed a nine-figure hit. Two separate threads in one news cycle: rising adoption and persistent custody fragility. Whether APAC's adoption lead translates into stronger regional security standards, or whether incidents like this keep pace with growth, is the open question.
