Dear CoinEx Community, Today, I am announcing that CoinEx will cease operations and begin an orderly wind-down. First, what matters most: your assets are safe. CoinEx’s reserve ratio exceeds 100%, and every user asset is fully backed and available for withdrawal. Withdrawals are open starting today and will remain open until December 22, 2026. Certain tokens may take slightly longer to process while funds are moved between cold and hot wallets, but every withdrawal request within the withdrawal period will be honored and processed. CoinEx officially went live on December 22, 2017. Exactly nine years later, on December 22, 2026, the platform will be formally closed. Nine years is a long time in crypto. Together, we lived through multiple bull and bear cycles, witnessed the rise and fall of countless projects, and watched many of our peers leave the market in one form or another. After much reflection, I have come to accept a hard truth. CoinEx did not become one of the industry’s leading exchanges, and the security and compliance risks of running a crypto exchange have become increasingly difficult to contain. Revenues can decline, responsibility does not. Carrying unlimited risk for limited revenue is no longer a rational choice. That said, CoinEx has survived nine years in one of the most volatile and unforgiving industries, weathered every storm, and is leaving intact, and with dignity. We may not have won the race, but we are finishing with honor. On CET: CoinEx will buy back CET at its initial listing price of 0.005 USDT per token, with no cap on quantity. To every CET holder who has supported us over the years, thank you. CET represents your belief in CoinEx and, for many of you, your belief in me personally. I am sorry that we were not able to create the long-term value we once hoped CET would deliver. The least we can do now is bring that chapter to a responsible conclusion. I did seriously consider selling CoinEx. Ultimately, I decided against it. Users entrusted their assets to CoinEx because they trusted the platform and, in many cases, trusted me personally. I did not feel that handing the platform and that trust to a new owner was the right way to end this journey. A clean ending is the right ending. Nine years, millions of users. I did not turn CoinEx into the “great” exchange I once hoped it would become. But I can give it a decent ending: making sure users can withdraw their assets in full, giving my employees a dignified farewell, and providing CET holders with a clear and responsible conclusion. This is the best ending I can give CoinEx. To everyone who traded with us, built with us, and stood by us through the hardest days of this market, thank you. It has been a privilege to walk this road with you. To the CoinEx team, thank you for building this platform with me, for carrying it across every cycle, and now for seeing it through to the very last day. For detailed arrangements, please refer to the official announcement: coinex.com/en/announcements/… Thank you all for nine years of trust. Haipo Yang Sept 15, 2026

Go live soon with @_cryptozoidberg ! Sorry for the delay. Like and share!!

Going live tomorrow morning at 7am est with @zano_project founder @_cryptozoidberg

No Monero folks should be looking to dunk on Zcash because of Zooko's post. He did the right thing and was honest about exploitation being undetectable. We (Monero) have had our own inflation bugs that have thankfully also been resolved, it's a natural downside to building out privacy as the default in these systems. The important things are: 1. Fixing them quickly 2. Working with stakeholders quickly 3. Being honest and transparent about them so the ecosystem as a whole can learn and improve

@vladcostea had Andrew Poelstra, director of research at @Blockstream, on the show recently. This clip has him explaining the quirks of Bitcoin, with it's weird and crusty code.

I believe the same group got to me except that instead of the legacy media, it was Cointelegraph and they managed to convince me to screenshare in the last 10 minutes of a 1 hour interview through Microsoft Teams and somehow were able to execute a run command that installed a remote access trojan. It started out with a DM from the official @Cointelegraph. Apparently their X account got hacked briefly: nitter.net/cointelegraph/status/1…

We're excited to announce that we will host a small side event during #ETHDam this weekend! Whether you're attending the conference or happen to be around, we’d love to see you on Saturday night for a chat while enjoying some snacks and drinks!👋 Details 📍Location: Delirium Café Amsterdam & Waterfront Amsterdam 🕐Date & time: Saturday May 10th, 20:00-22:00PM 🍺First drink is on us!

Going to prison for the rest of your life over non-violent tax offenses is absurd. The case against Roger seems very politically motivated; like with @RealRossU, there have been plenty of people and corporations who have been accused of far worse and yet faced sentences far milder than what Roger is facing. The argument that the flashlight on him is motivated by things he said (namely, his advocacy of freedom and refusal to accept legitimacy of coercive state power) seems compelling. This is worth standing against, because selective prosecution for unrelated offenses is a common way of circumventing protections like the First Amendment (or in more authoritarian countries, even more basic things like the moral prohibition against punishing people for the crimes of their family members). The US tax-by-citizenship and associated exit tax regime is extreme; the former is shared by almost no other countries in the world, and the latter is on the high end of what countries do (eg. UK only charges capital gains if you return within 5 years). If the IRS did intimidate Roger's lawyers to get privileged information, that is a bad faith move; the right to consult lawyers in confidence must be kept sacrosanct. Genuine good faith mistakes should be treated by giving the actor the opportunity to pay back taxes if needed with interest and penalties, not with prosecution. @FreeRogerVer

Roger Ver was there for me when I was down and needed help. Now Roger needs our support. No one should spend the rest of their life in prison over taxes. Let him pay the tax (if any) and be done with it. #FreeRoger

Mr. President, I am an American, and I need your help. Only you, with your commitment to justice, can save me @realDonaldTrump

If anybody understands what it means to be a victim of lawfare, it’s @realDonaldTrump, and nobody understands it better. @rogerkver is not actually guilty by the letter of the law. The exploitation of a vague tax code is weaponized to attack the crypto community. A pro-crypto president does not let this stand. Pardoning Roger Ver today would send a strong message that for the next four years, our pioneers will be supported to make America great again! 🇺🇸🗽
