Japanese cryptocurrency exchange Coincheck announced on Friday, Jan. 26, that it is suspending all withdrawals after a Ripple payment worth $123mln left its wallet as well as a transaction of 500 million NEM (XEM) worth around $600 million at the time.
The sudden announcement sent a shockwave through the trading community and Cryptocurrencies slumped after one of Japan's biggest Bitcoin venues halted client withdrawals in a country that's still wary of crypto exchanges four years after the collapse of Mt. Gox. |
