Some crypto community members have pointed out that the glitch led to a flash crash of the top crypto to $0. A customer tweeted that the XRP price on the Bitrue platform plummeted to $0.001 and rebounded immediately. The sharp price drop swept out all active XRP long positions virtually. 

However, XRP has shared some screenshots via Twitter, indicating that most users who held long positions were not liquidated. Further, the platform users have noted that the traders couldn’t profit since no buy orders were taken into account.

Bitrue to Refund the Affected Individuals

Notably, the crypto platform has promised to reverse the positions held by its users during the glitch period. Further, Bitrue has asserted that the losses of individuals whose positions are liquidated will be cancelled. Additionally, the margin amount will be refunded to their accounts. 

The platform further noted:

‘’ The settlement price of XRP will be marked at 0.4696 (Taken at UTC).’’

On the other hand, Bitrue lost around $ 23 million in April 2023, as its wallet was attacked. The crypto platform promised to compensate users affected as part of the solution in the aftermath of the attack. Today, the exchange confirmed that all services are now fully operational.

Update: All services are fully operational. Thank you for your support. https://t.co/pf2e7jOp32
