HTX, Poloniex Assets are '100% Safe' Says Justin Sun After $200M Hack

Summary

Crypto mogul Justin Sun has confirmed that assets held on the HTX and Poloniex exchanges are "100% safe" following a recent hack that saw over $200 million stolen. Withdrawals have been reopened for certain assets, but some altcoins remain locked. Bitcoin and Tron are currently available for withdrawal, causing these tokens to trade at a premium on Poloniex. Sun stated that 95% of HTX's assets and 85% of Poloniex's assets have been resumed. To alleviate concerns, both exchanges plan to conduct an airdrop for users valued at $1 worth of tether (USDT) for every U.S. dollar worth of tokens held on the platform.
