ZachXBT: The cryptocurrency exchange AscendEX is suspected of long-term delays in withdrawals, urging users to report to the police

According to on-chain detective ZachXBT, multiple reports indicate that the centralized cryptocurrency exchange AscendEX (formerly Bitmax) has recently delayed or failed to process users' withdrawal requests for several days or even weeks, yet the platform continues to accept user deposits.As early as the initial warning on June 26, ZachXBT pointed out that, after reviewing on-chain data from Arkham and TRM, several known hot wallets of AscendEX (covering EVM, Tron, and Solana networks) severely lack major market cap tokens such as ETH, USDT, and SOL, indicating that the platform is likely facing a serious liquidity crisis.The latest situation shows that, in the 9 days since the first warning, the official X account of AscendEX has remained inactive, and the platform's co-founder George (Jing) Cao has not responded to inquiries from users with large amounts of trapped funds. Currently, ZachXBT strongly advises users unable to withdraw their funds to report to law enforcement and regulatory agencies in their respective countries or regions as soon as possible.It is reported that AscendEX was founded by George (Jing) Cao and Ariel Ling in 2018. In December 2021, the platform was attacked by the hacker group Lazarus Group, resulting in approximately $78 million in asset losses.

The Korea Exchange has introduced new regulations: companies listed under technical exceptions that transition to businesses such as "cryptocurrency asset investment" will face delisting reviews

According to the Korea Exchange (KRX) announcement on July 2, to further improve the KOSDAQ market system, KRX has officially revised the relevant listing rules and implementation details, aiming to strictly control the deviation of technology special listing companies from their main business.The new regulations clearly state that companies listed through technology exceptions that change their main business direction within 5 years after listing (excluding businesses similar to or subsidiary to the original main business) will be subject to substantial delisting review. KRX officials specifically cited an example where a related biotechnology company transferred its management rights to an overseas digital asset company after listing last year and illegally transformed into a "cryptocurrency vault" and other digital asset professional investment institutions. KRX emphasized that such behavior has caused the company to deviate from the technical and growth assessment basis approved at the time of listing, and therefore must undergo strict delisting review.In addition, the new regulations have added additional restrictions to the grace period for delisting conditions enjoyed by special listing companies (i.e., exemption from revenue insufficiency or large-scale losses within 3 to 5 years), requiring relevant companies to publicly disclose their "corporate value enhancement plans" during this period to ensure future growth and strengthen communication with investors. This revision of regulations also includes measures to optimize the capital market, such as expanding customized qualitative review standards for innovative companies and establishing a low PBR (price-to-book ratio) company disclosure system.
