South Korean Exchanges Halt IoTeX Transactions Amid Potential Security Incident

South Korea's cryptocurrency market has taken another step in demonstrating its commitment to user asset protection and regulatory compliance. Three major exchanges - Upbit, Bithumb, and Coinone - have simultaneously suspended all IoTeX (IOTX) deposit and withdrawal services following indications of a potential security incident within the IoTeX ecosystem.

The exchanges' decision to halt IOTX transactions is in line with their commitment to maintaining high operational standards. According to industry experts, this coordinated action is 'standard operating procedure for top-tier exchanges' when a potential threat is identified. The immediate priority is to prevent any possible loss of user funds by isolating the asset's transfer function.
