Cryptocurrency exchange Crypto.com suspended withdrawals on its platform on Monday following reports from users of "unauthorized activity."
- The Singapore-based firm announced via Twitter early on Monday that it would be pausing withdrawals shortly while it investigated reports of suspicious activity on users' accounts. All funds were safe, it said.
- Several hours later, the exchange issued an update advising users were required to sign back into their accounts and reset their two-factor authentication (2FA).
- At around 16:00 UTC (11 a.m. ET), CEO Kris Marszalek tweeted that final checks were being made prior to withdrawals being resumed in the following 30-60 minutes.
- At 17:42, the site's official Twitter account notified users that withdrawals had resumed and all funds were safe, though it anticipated some processing backlogs.
- Crypto exchanges have been known to suspend withdrawals and other services during spikes in demand at periods of high volatility. One of the most recent such occasions was in November, when Binance disabled all crypto withdrawals due to a large backlog.

After 2025’s Test Run, Crypto IPOs Face Their Real Trial in 2026
"2026 is where we find out if crypto IPOs are a durable asset class," according to Laura Katherine Mann, a partner at global law firm White & Case.
What to know:
- 2025 is the test-case year for crypto IPOs, but 2026 will be the real verdict, when markets decide if digital asset listings are a durable asset class or just a bull-market trade, says White & Case partner Laura Katherine Mann.
- The 2026 roster skews toward financial infrastructure, regulated exchanges and brokerages, custody and infrastructure providers, and stablecoin payments and treasury platforms.
- A more constructive U.S. regulatory backdrop and rising institutionalization support the IPO window, but Mann says valuation discipline, macro risk and crypto price action will determine how many deals actually make it to market.
