TechFlow News, May 28: Amid controversy surrounding HTX’s alleged involvement in a UK sanctions-related matter, several third-party risk-control and security systems broadly and indiscriminately flagged all addresses with financial ties to HTX. In response, Molly, HTX’s Market Director, posted the following statement:
HTX’s trading, deposits/withdrawals, and OTC services are operating normally. In fact, we have been actively working to maintain stable OTC pricing and ensure users can withdraw funds smoothly.
HTX has consistently embraced regulatory compliance and remains fully willing to cooperate with all relevant parties in reviews and communications to resolve this misunderstanding as soon as possible.
Regarding affected users, Molly stated that if ordinary users bear the spillover costs—or worse, suffer “collective mislabeling” across the entire industry without their knowledge—it reflects a failure of the centralized exchange (CEX) industry’s trust infrastructure. To address this, Molly called on the industry to:
Jointly raise these user-impact issues with third-party security and risk-control platforms, urging relevant institutions to promptly rectify the situation and further improve industry-wide risk-control mechanisms;
Accelerate optimization of risk-control logic targeting HTX users, safeguarding ordinary users’ fund security and ensuring normal fund flow.
HTX will fully cooperate until all issues are genuinely resolved.
