Overview
- Binance said it will stop processing transactions involving HTX and ten named platforms starting Aug. 23, adding to five earlier restrictions applied in early and mid‑August.
- The companies named for the Aug. 23 cutoff include Rapira, Aifory Pro, ABCeX, WhiteBird, NoOnecrypto, Tradex, Monease, BitPapa, Exnode (Exnode Pay), HTX (formerly Huobi) and EXMO Ltd.
- Traders and market watchers report that the announced measures have already drained liquidity from HTX and thinned its ETH order book as participants move funds ahead of the deadline.
- Blockchain analytics firms say frequent hot‑wallet changes and intermediary routing can outpace static address blacklists, pushing exchanges to adopt behavior‑based screening and broader counterparty checks.
- Users who move funds between platforms face a real risk of delayed or held transfers and temporary wallet restrictions, and some affected services are contesting designations or winding down operations.
