Market news: Multiple users reported that their accounts were frozen after making small deposits on HTX, and HTX responded that they are investigating

According to KOL Kuai Dong (@_FORAB), several cryptocurrency practitioners reported this morning that their addresses on other exchanges inexplicably received small deposits from HTX exchange, and shortly after receiving them, their accounts were frozen. Previously, several exchanges, including Binance and OKX, announced that in response to sanctions from the EU and the UK, they would no longer process deposits and withdrawals from HTX, otherwise accounts could be forcibly frozen. Some users in the community claimed that this action is similar to "address poisoning," which could trigger KYT/AML risk control on other platforms.

However, HTX market manager MollyFu stated that the official side absolutely did not engage in such behavior; it is either a misunderstanding or someone is deliberately causing trouble. The platform has been processing tens of thousands of deposits and withdrawals daily in the past two days, and accounts are normal. They will not randomly airdrop to users on other platforms; if testing is conducted, it will only be done on a small scale through their own accounts. HTX stated that they have held an internal meeting to discuss the matter and are quickly investigating the cause, promising to provide an explanation to the community.
