First steps of governments to take control of their own? I think this is just the beginning. If Bitcoin becomes even more popular, in the next few years, governments will come up with ways to control cryptocurrency.
There is not a single country in the world, which will allow you to operate a cryptocurrency exchange without a valid license. I would say that it is sort of mixed package. You have to comply with KYC regulations and your transactions may no longer be anonymous. But at the same time, tighter regulations mean that there is a lower chance of the exchange owners conducting an exit scam.

80% of the stolen funds belonged to Coincheck themselves. I imagine it would've been a rather different story if it had been 100% customer funds.
I admit that I missed this information, so only 20% is stolen users funds, and this is around 100$ million which is not a small amount but in any case it is much better then 500$+ million. I'm sure this would be a completely different story in that case, and this exchange would become another bitter pill for all hacked users.
They only done their responsibility, so i wouldn't say it's the most important thing. IMO the most important thing is either the exchange learn from their mistake and improve their security or the customer learn the risks of storing cryptocurrency on exchange.
At least they did not turn to new MtGox, but as gentlemand say only because they lost 80% of their money. Maybe they learn from this mistake, but users also learn something, so most of them switch to other exchanges. If I was one of affected users I would certainly think well before using this exchange again, but maybe Japanese users think different, time will tell.

Lol they are still trading nem after that hack attack. Noob clowns who don't even know how to store stuff in cold storage. How hard is it to buy a hardware wallet or print a paper wallet and move coins into it
Indeed. If I were the regulator I would've kicked them in the balls for a solid week and fired every single one of them before even dreaming of letting them anywhere near crypto again. It's possibly the most pathetic set of circumstances regarding a hack so far, apart from that Polish one that deleted all of its private keys.
Yup. Just goes to show how utterly useless & pathetic these "regulations & licenses" actually are.

Although this news does not have any particular significance, I think the most important thing is that all losses are compensated, and that's good news for users, at least in Japan. They made a big mistake, they pay for it, and they certainly deserve a new opportunity. Since there is dozens of others crypto exchanges in Japan, probably Coincheck will have a tough job to restore confidence of users.

No idea why anywhere would bail out a tainted operation but I guess they'll know better than me.

I assume it was quid pro quo for Monex stepping in and repaying all the victims. There's no way they would have bought Coincheck if there wasn't an implicit expectation that regulators would treat them favorably. I'm sure they've beefed up security significantly but it looks like the damage is already done. This volume is pathetic:
