Bithumb, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, has announced a temporary delay in processing virtual asset deposits due to internal system work. The exchange stated that the delay is a precautionary measure to ensure the security and stability of its platform. During the maintenance period, users will not be able to deposit virtual assets into their Bithumb accounts. However, withdrawals and other exchange services will not be affected. The exchange expects the maintenance work to be completed within a few hours and will update users once the deposit service is restored. This is not the first time that Bithumb has experienced technical issues. In 2018, the exchange suffered a major hack that resulted in the loss of millions of dollars worth of customer funds. The exchange has since taken steps to improve its security, but it is not immune to technical glitches. Despite the occasional technical issues, Bithumb remains a popular choice for cryptocurrency traders in South Korea and around the world. The exchange offers a wide range of trading pairs and supports a variety of virtual assets.
