Toobit, a cryptocurrency exchange based in the Cayman Islands, announced the launch of a $50 million fund specifically designed to cover losses resulting from internal technical or security failures on the platform.
It is important to note that the sum won’t be used to compensate losses resulting from personal account compromises, trading decisions, or market volatility.
Focusing on the Traders’ Safety
The multi-million-dollar initiative is called “the Toobit Shield Fund.” It was described as “a proactive risk reserve that provides free, automatic protection for all Toobit traders against losses from unforeseen platform incidents.
It ensures that users will be compensated in the event of a hack or any disruptions associated with the exchange. The protection is automatically activated from the moment a trader makes their first deposit. Toobit also displays a live, 24/7 public dashboard which shows the fund’s total value, thus ensuring full transparency.
“The safety of our traders’ funds is the bedrock of everything we do. The Shield Fund gives every trader an automatic safety net, so you can trade worry-free,” CCO Mike Williams said.
Subsequently, the company argued that the demand for robust protection in the crypto sector “has never been greater” due to the hacking incidents as of late, which have drained billions of dollars from victims.
“Toobit’s Shield Fund directly addresses this urgent need, providing a self-initiated layer of security and confidence for its traders at a time when the broader decentralized insurance market is projected to reach over $135 billion by 2032,” the announcement reads.
Some of the Hacks This Year
Cybercriminals have shown even heightened interest in the crypto industry this year. The total amount of funds lost due to hacking attacks during the first half of 2025 is approximately $3.1 billion, representing a 6% increase from the $2.85 billion drained in H1 2024. The biggest attack in the first months of the year was undoubtedly the Bybit hack, which resulted in losses of around $1.4 billion.
The digital asset sector has also remained a primary target for bad actors over the past few months. In September, the decentralized exchange Bunni suffered a loss of $8.4 million. Although not as significant as other attacks, the entity could not afford to cover the losses and was forced to cease its operations.
