As the markets consolidate their late June rebound, the risk of security incidents will need demonstrably robust responses to maintain public confidence.

The world’s largest crypto exchange, Binance - which has processed over $1.5 billion in trades over the last 24 hours - has now resumed services after irregular patterns for Syscoin (SYS) trades prompted an emergency temporary suspension yesterday, July 3.

While exact details remain undisclosed, the incident appears to have seen Syscoin trading for a staggering 96 BTC (around $640,000) on the exchange. Binance has now rolled back all the irregular trades, and also announced a series of measures to protect its users.

Bullish news for blockchain technology meanwhile has seen a UK government minister today call on the state to “show leadership” by “using blockchain to enable social freedom, to increase efficiency, and to rebuild societal trust.”
