As reported last week, OKEx said it had to suspend cryptoasset withdrawals as one of their private key holders was “cooperating with a public security bureau in investigations” and the company was “out of touch” with the holder. As they told Our at the time, there is no exact timeframe for when the withdrawals might be resumed. Per their announcement, this will happen once “the concerned private key holder is able to authorize the transaction,” adding that they have undisclosed contingency plans in place if the holder is not available “for an extended period of time.”

Meanwhile, the team has also warned the consumers that certain accounts have been banned after triggering the exchange’s risk management system.
