Odaily News: Sheldon Lee, founder of cryptocurrency exchange BitMart, stated that a post on X claiming users were unable to withdraw funds and that some employees had not received their July salaries is a "fabricated rumor," adding that the exchange's Chinese-language account had been hacked.
Critics, including users and on-chain investigator ZachXBT, have demanded that BitMart resume withdrawals or undergo an independent third-party audit. BitMart is gradually winding down operations, with the final trading day set for August 26.
Troubled investment firm Echo Base said it had proposed a funded restructuring plan to BitMart but received no response. The firm warned that resolving a large volume of customer claims may require proceedings through the courts. (CoinDesk)
