HTX states that third-party risk systems flagged wallets connected to the centralized exchange (crypto trading platform), leading to transfer restrictions and raising broader trust concerns for the centralized exchange sector.
HTX says users moving funds to and from the exchange are encountering freezes and restrictions on some platforms after external risk-control systems flagged HTX-linked wallets. According to the statement, the issue affects wallets associated with the centralized exchange (crypto trading platform) and has damaged trust across the wider centralized exchange industry. The report points to a common market friction in crypto, where compliance and risk-monitoring tools used by trading venues or service providers can restrict transfers when wallet addresses are linked to activity they classify as higher risk.
