Bithumb said it has prepared measures to take responsibility for a recent Bitcoin mispayment incident. The exchange plans to activate a companywide crisis management system led by executives and set up a dedicated investor relief task force. It will strengthen asset verification and require multi-step approvals, run AI-based abnormal trade blocking 24 hours a day, and carry out an external security inspection with results disclosed. Bithumb said it will fully compensate affected customers and create a 100 billion won customer protection fund.

Stellantis booked 22 billion euros ($26 billion) in restructuring losses, sending its shares sharply lower in Europe and the United States. CEO Antonio Filosa said the company was overly optimistic about the pace of the energy transition, creating a mismatch with consumer demand, and said past operational failures were also reflected in costs. Stellantis said it will adjust the pace of its electrification strategy based on demand and sell a 49 percent stake in NextStar Energy to LG Energy Solution.
