Exchange hacks have become a serious problem in the cryptocurrency space. Nearly all major cryptocurrency exchanges have been hacked at least once and in such cases, and in the most recent development, Bitrue got hacked on June 27, 2019. In the wake of this, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao says Binance will be introducing an anti-fraud system that blocks any stolen funds coming through the exchange.

Binance itself has had its fair share of the hack experience and is taking a step to help recover lost funds. Like in the case of Bitrue that has promised to return all stolen funds to its customers, a recovery system will be invaluable.

Bitrue got hacked at about 1 am GMT+8 through a vulnerability in the exchange’s  Risk Control team’s 2nd review process. The hackers then accessed Bitrue hot wallet and move 9.3 million XRP and 2.5 million ADA to different exchanges. Binance’s anti-fraud system will be a useful development as stolen funds always pass through exchanges in separate pieces to avoid detection.

Zhao says the only thing required to block stolen funds is a prompt report from the victim so that the exchange can immediately block the stolen funds. The anti-fraud system is to be made available to all very soon and will be completely free of charge.

Also as crypto-related hacks tend to increase during bull markets, this could not have come at a better time. With such a system spread on every cryptocurrency exchange around the world, the possibility of funds recovery may be guaranteed to restore users’ confidence even if thieves cannot be stopped from hacking completely.

Earlier this year, Binance was hacked and over $41 million of users funds were stolen in Bitcoin. Zhao out of desperation to recover lost funds proposed a reorg of the Bitcoin blockchain. It would probably have been easier to restore the funds if this system was in place. 

The era of funds loss to hackers may be drawing close to its end with the launch of this innovative system by Binance and the cryptocurrency community must be looking forward to it at such a time.

As Bitcoin breaches $10,000 and crosses straight to $11,000, analysts anticipated a major FOMO that would create panic and thus attract more buyers. However, there seems to be no reaction from the public on Bitcoin’s triumph on the long-awaited $10,000. This has left the cryptocurrency community wondering what is going on. Well, The Crypto King has an answer.

In a tweet earlier today, the blockchain entrepreneur said Bitcoin will be moving straight to $100k because if at the current price no FOMO has started then the asset has a long way to go. Also, the fact that no extreme media announcements and headlines on the price are an indication that it has not been noticed yet and could be going much higher

According to The Crypto King, this is good for Bitcoin as it leaves more room for additional development, adoption, regulations and institutional money to flow into the market while it grows to $100k. Interestingly, he is not the only one having this conviction on the future of Bitcoin in 2019.

Veteran trader Peter Brandt is also convinced that Bitcoin is going to $100,000. Also in a tweet, Brandt said Bitcoin is experiencing its fourth phase since 2010, saying only Bitcoin has gone parabolic on a log chart in this manner in his trading career. As far as he is concerned, Bitcoin is the best market ever.

Keiser Report host Max Keiser has also been confident that Bitcoin would go to $100,000. He predicted this price in 2011 and has not gone back on his word since then despite the rough ride Bitcoin has been through. It seems Keiser finally has witnesses in the house who see things as he does.

If Bitcoin is actually going to $100k then only 10% of the journey has been covered and there is a long way to go for those who haven’t gotten in the train to do so. It is currently on a slight pullback but a trader says it is normal and expected so there is no cause for alarm.
