Bybit's CEO Ben Zhou just set the gold standard for crisis management in crypto. After the exchange suffered a historic $1.4 billion hack, Zhou stepped up within minutes confirming the breach, calming nerves, and taking full accountability.

Withdrawals kept flowing despite mass panic, with 70% processed fast. No excuses, no delays just action and composure under insane pressure. This is how you lead through a storm.

His transparency was unreal: a livestream to explain the sophisticated attack, real-time updates, and a clear promise that client funds are safe. He assured everyone Bybit is solvent, backed 1:1, and even secured bridge loans to cover losses.
