It’s time to take a bow 🙇
For 5 years and 4 months, the Hotbit team has been proud to participate in a wonderful crypto show with 5 million users. However, it is with great regret that we have made the decision to stop all CEX operations from May 22, UTC 04:00. We kindly ask all…— Hotbit News (@Hotbit_news) May 22, 2023
According to Hotbit, due to the deterioration of operations and the changes in the encryption industry, it is found that the current business model supporting multiple assets is unsustainable.
On August 10 last year, Hotbit suspended withdrawals and transactions due to the involvement of former employees in illegal projects, and some funds were frozen by law enforcement agencies. And Hotbit was also attacked by hackers in 2021, affecting more than 2 million users and being down for maintenance for more than a week.
