Poloniex drops support for XRP wallet citing maintenance

May 29, 2021 by Sahana Kiran

Prominent cryptocurrency exchange, Poloniex seemed to be making news for disabling several wallets for the second time this week.

It has undoubtedly been a very volatile week for the crypto market. XRP was just recovering from its recent downfall following SEC’s lawsuit against Ripple. Despite this, the altcoin managed to score gains during the latest crypto rally. However, XRP had once again dropped down below $1. Amidst this volatile period, California-based cryptocurrency exchange, Poloniex went on to disable an array of wallets including XRP citing maintenance.

Poloniex disables support for XRP, ETH, TRX, and several others

The crypto exchange, took to Twitter to announce that it had dropped support for XRP, ETH, ERC-20, TRX as well as TRC20. The tweet read,

Our $XRP wallet has been disabled for maintenance. We will update this thread once the wallet is re-enabled.

Poloniex shared an array of tweets. The next tweet read,

“TRX and TRC20 wallets have been disabled for maintenance. We will update this thread once the wallets have been re-enabled.”

This wasn’t the first time that Poloniex disabled wallets suggesting maintenance issues. Back on 24 May, the exchange revealed that it would temporarily disable the XRP wallet. Along with XRP, the crypto platform withdrew support for Bitcoin Cash [BCH] as well as Polkadot [DOT]. While Poloniex took a day to wind up its maintenance issue, the duration of the current one is uncertain.

Furthermore, during the time of writing, XRP was trading for $0.86 with a 3.47% drop in the last 24-hours.

Ripple vs SEC war persists

SEC has time and again revealed that it had no intention of settling with Ripple. While the SEC does not seem to steer away from its narrative of XRP being a security, several XRP holders went on to protest against the financial watchdog.

These XRP holders stood outside the SEC headquarters seeking an investigation against Jay Clayton’s views on the altcoin. Twitter user, Andrew H tweeted about the same. The tweet read,

Poloniex Records Brief Downtime As Bitcoin Moves Closer To $20K

November 21, 2020 by Sahana Kiran

The price of Bitcoin has been moving the right way as the king coin has been pushing past its previously made records. Poloniex, and Coinbase instead of aiding the growth of the coin, have been making its users miss out on the action. While the crypto community was seen recovering from Coinbase’s recent outrage, it was once again struck by Poloniex’s “unexpected issue.”

Poloniex Goes Offline

Bitcoin surprised an array of people by moving past $18K in the last few days. While several continue to speculate the movement of Bitcoin, Poloniex revealed that it had experienced a problem that was rather unexpected. In a recent tweet, the cryptocurrency exchange announced that it had to go offline. The tweet read,

“Poloniex is currently unavailable due to an unexpected issue. We are investigating the issue and will keep you updated here throughout. Thank you for your patience”

This was further followed by an array of tweets regarding the matter. The exchange asserted that the crypto platform was out of maintenance mode. However, there was a temporary ban on withdrawals and the spot as well as margin markets were in post-only mode. This was re-enabled after a while. The futures contract trading on Poloniex was also enabled once again.

The crypto exchange also figured that certain users had mistakenly received BCH from the exchange. This was also taken note of by the exchange and affirmed that the funds of the users were safe during the course of the maintenance.

Bitcoin Moves Ahead Despite Poloniex Outrage

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was seen trading at $18,669.02 with a 3.29% rise over the last 24-hours. The king coin was garnered profits up to 16% in the last seven days while its market cap was reaching new heights.

Poloniex

In the daily chart of Bitcoin, the key indicators suggested that the king coin was in for an uphill journey. The MACD indicator had prolonged its bullish crossover as the signal line reposed below the MACD line. The Relative Strength Index indicator [RSI] also revealed that BTC was in the overbought zone with its marker way above 70 median.

Poloniex Exchange is Under Threat of Email Leak

January 1, 2020 by Tabassum Naiz

Looks like Poloniex crypto exchange is suffering data breach as the exchange recently requested its users to reset their password and account security.

Poloniex Confirms Data Leak

Tweeting on December 30, a Twitter account dubbed “Charly” posted a screenshot of an email purportedly received from Poloniex crypto exchange. Charly notes it as “scam email” to which Poloniex crypto exchange replied by confirming “this is a real email”. The message mentioned in screenshot reads as;

A couple of hours ago we discovered that someone leaked a list of email addresses and passwords on Twitter, claiming the information could be used to log in to Poloniex accounts. While almost all of the email addresses listed do not belong to Poloniex accounts, we are forcing a password reset on any email addresses listed that do have an account with us including yours.

What suggested as a scam email quickly turned out to be true following Poloniex’s customer support response. Notably, the exchange confirmed that the email was indeed real and requested users to reset their password for account security.

This is a real email! Please reset your password for account security

— Poloniex Customer Support (@PoloSupport) December 30, 2019

At the moment, it is unclear the amount of data leaked on Twitter, in fact, additional information about who leaked the data and when it was leaked remained hidden. More so, what causes the breach of email data is still unclear.

The exchange captured mainstream bulletins when the Tron boss “Justin Sun” reportedly invested in Poloniex. Furthermore, the investment made in a wake of exchange parted away from the crypto conglomerate Circle. The exchange has a quite dull remark in the crypto industry when hackers breached the servers of Poloniex.

The update comes in a wake of Justin Sun’s new acquisition of DLive, a blockchain-based live streaming platform. Following the acquisition, DLive will work together with the BitTorrent “to bring blockchain-based peer-to-peer content sharing including live streaming, to everyone”. DLive exists in the blockchain ecosystem since 2018 and surged in popularity when a YouTube star PewDiePie signed a deal with DLive.
