The exchange said the decision has been made after a series of crises resulted in continuous outflows of funds from the platform. Hotbit also revealed it had suffered "numerous problems," including repeated cyber-attacks and the exploitation of project defects by malicious users, resulting in "significant losses."

"Therefore, the Hotbit team believes that the operation model of supporting a diverse range of assets is unsustainable from a risk management standpoint," the exchange said.
