Forex AnalytixSome people who lost money as a result of Ethereum's flash crash on Wednesday are being made whole, according to a press release sent out Friday by GDAX.

"We will establish a process to credit customer accounts which experienced a margin call or stop loss order executed on the GDAX ETH-USD order book as a direct result of the rapid price movement at 12.30pm PT on June 21, 2017," the release said.

The release clarified:

  • "For customers who had buy orders filled - we are honoring all executed orders and no trades will be reversed."
  • "For affected customers who had margin calls or stop loss orders executed - we are crediting you using company funds."

Ethereum's price crashed from $296 to $13 around 12:30 p.m. ET time Wednesday on GDAX's exchange. It recovered those losses in a matter of minutes.
