Crypto wallet provider Trust Wallet announced that it has resolved a glitch that caused token balances to disappear and reappear, frustrating many users.
On Dec. 21, Trust Wallet users took to social media to report issues with their crypto balances vanishing.
One X user mentioned that their balance would occasionally appear and disappear, while another user said they nearly had a heart attack upon seeing their balance vanish.
At 6:45 am UTC, Trust Wallet acknowledged the issue, noting it initially affected BNB and Trust Wallet Token (TWT) balances.
The company later confirmed that other tokens were also impacted.
Despite the glitch, Trust Wallet reassured its users that their funds were secure.
By 8:05 am UTC, the company announced that the issue had been resolved.
“Hey Trust Fam, no more glitches! The issue has been resolved and everything should be working properly now. Thanks for your understanding,” the company wrote.
While the incident was a technical error, it caused panic among some users.
One X user feared their wallet had been drained, a reaction likely influenced by the prevalence of security breaches in the crypto space.
