The Russian cryptocurrency exchange Btc-e has recently been controversial due to numerous incidents in connection with hacker attacks and government intervention. Nevertheless, she promised the customer to try to solve the problem and to protect the inventory. Does Btc-e keep its promise?
Btc-e: What has happened so far
Btc-e offered customers a premature payout option. Customers who had had credit on their account prior to the shutdown of the stock exchange were able to pay out 55% of this amount, but waived all further claims and agreed to the deletion of their account. Those who did not want to be satisfied with the 55% did not have to react. Then the stocks would be transferred to the new stock exchange - but Btc-e is now calling for stronger KYC processes.
WEX: New stock exchange succeeds Btc-e
In a press release dated 14th September (Thursday) Btc-e announced that a new platform will soon be launched, operating under an unknown name. Further information would be communicated via Twitter, they said.
In the night from Friday to Saturday, on September 15th after 10 p. m., an update to Twiiter followed, which announced the new platform. The new platform is operated under the name WEX. Now no longer with a. com domain, but a. nz domain. The temporary portal, where users could exercise the payout option, was also run under a. nz domain. A hint that indicates a circumvention of the regulatory difficulties that have recently arisen in connection with the platform.
