HTX resumes bitcoin deposits and withdrawals

The cryptocurrency exchange HTX has partially resumed deposits and withdrawals — as of November 26, functions are available for Bitcoin, ETH, TRX and USDT, according to Justin Sun, founder of Tron.

\n\n

The majority of the work has been accomplished, and we aim to restore the remaining currencies gradually in the next few days, with all work expected to be completed by next week.

According to press release dated November 27, withdrawal services have been resumed for USDC, APE, USDT and some others. The exchange also announced plans to reward users with airdrop.

Earlier, on November 22, HTX’s hot wallet and cross-chain bridge Heco Bridge were hacked.

\n\n\n\n

Few days earlier, Sun’s exchange Poloniex lost $125 million in cryptocurrencies in a hack. Then the head of the platform said there was successful identification and freezing of part of the assets linked to the hacker addresses.

He also suggested the hacker return the coins for a reward of 5% of the stolen amount, and later increased the amount to $10 million.
