According to a statement shared by OKEx today, the platform will resume P2P trading for the Chinese yuan, the Vietnamese dong and the Indian rupee from 20:00 Hong King Time on October 21.
It should be noted the exchange decided to disable the fiat-to-crypto P2P trading interface after suspending the withdrawal of funds on Friday. According to OKEx, it decided to suspend withdrawals because a holder of the private key required to approve withdrawals from the platform was "cooperating with a public security office in connection with an investigation."
The users of the exchange are a bit nervous, as they are not sure when they will be able to withdraw their funds. Thus, some OKEx crypto assets such as USDT and BTC are being sold with a 10%-20% discount on the P2P platform.
