HTX (formerly known as Huobi Global) announced that deposit services for major chains will be gradually resumed on their platform, beginning today, complemented by an airdrop event as a gesture of gratitude to its users.

According to the announcement, HTX has completed the necessary preparations for resuming deposit services. After thorough security checks, the exchange will start allowing deposits for TRON, BTC, and ETH chains.

“Currently, a thorough review is underway through collaboration between the team and a third-party security company. To ensure the security of user assets, HTX is set to gradually resume deposits for TRON, BTC, and ETH chains on the platform, starting from November 24, 2023, at 08:00 (UTC),” said HTX.

Besides the mentioned chains, other services will resume, too. “Following this, the resumption of withdrawal services will be conducted in an orderly manner. Please stay tuned for our further announcements,” said HTX.

The resumption should begin at the time of writing.

HTX Announces Airdrop to Thank Users

In addition, HTX is celebrating the restoration of its services with an airdrop event for all users, as a gesture of appreciation for their support. The event details will be shared in early December, with rewards drawn from a premium asset soon to be listed on the platform.

“To express our gratitude for your ongoing support and trust, we have specially planned an extraordinary token airdrop event to reward all our users,” wrote the announcement. “We will unveil the specific details of this event in early December. Please keep an eye on our updates.”

On Nov. 22, HTX was attacked by hackers and suffered a $13.6 million exploit. The exchange promised to “fully compensate for the losses caused by this attack and 100% guarantee the safety of user funds” in a statement following the attack.

In September, Huobi rebranded itself as HTX, with “H” for Huobi, “T” for its commitment to being all in TRON, and “X” for the exchange.
