Bybit recovers liquidity levels 30 days after hack — Kaiko

The Bybit exchange has recovered its liquidity to pre-hack levels just 30 days following the February 2025 attack that drained nearly $1.5 billion in funds. According to a report from crypto research and analytics firm Kaiko, Bitcoin's ( BTC ) 1% market depth, a measure of liquidity, returned to pre-hack levels of around $13 million per day in March 2025.

The authors of the Kaiko report added: "This lag is largely due to the risk-off market environment, which has impacted altcoins more severely. While Bitcoin is still seen as a risky asset, it remains the crypto market’s safe haven." Overall, the exchange's trading volumes remain in recovery; however, the report notes that this drop reflects the broader market trend in response to the ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty that has rattled risk asset markets and is not an effect of the biggest hack in crypto history . Altcoin liquidity on the platform has been slower to recover than Bitcoin liquidity.
