Someone is pouring Bitcoin to OKEx despite the exchange having suspended withdrawals.
Large Bitcoin transactions from Huobi cryptocurrency exchange are moving to OKEx despite the latter having temporarily suspended crypto withdrawals.
According to data from crypto tracking service Whale Alert, a total of 1,995 BTC was sent from Huobi to OKEx shortly after OKEx officially announced it was suspending withdrawals on Oct. 16.
The funds were transferred in two separate BTC transactions worth 998 BTC and 997 BTC at 3:51 a.m. EST and 06:22 a.m. EST, respectively.
The transfers raise some questions as 1,995 BTC is now locked on the platform due to the platform temporarily blocking crypto withdrawals.
The transactions from Huobi bring a significant amount of Bitcoin to OKEx's total BTC balance.
According to data from BTC balance-based exchange ranking Chain.
Info, OKEx now holds a total of 276,184 BTC on its cold vault, hot wallets, and deposit wallets.
At publishing time, a total of 6,269 BTC left OKEx over the past 24 hours.
Earlier today, Chinese media reported that OKEx founder Star Xu was questioned by the police a week ago.
