Bithumb to Temporarily Halt Deposits and Withdrawals for 8 TRX-Based Tokens Ahead of TRON Network Upgrade

BitcoinWorld Bithumb to Temporarily Halt Deposits and Withdrawals for 8 TRX-Based Tokens Ahead of TRON Network Upgrade South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb has announced a temporary suspension of deposits and withdrawals for eight TRON-based tokens, including TRX and Tether (USDT), to facilitate a scheduled network upgrade on the TRON blockchain.

The halt is set to begin at 9:00 a.m. UTC on Aug. 16 and will affect BitTorrent (BTT), JUST (JST), APENFT (NFT), SUN (SUN), Sundog (SUNDOG), TRON (TRX), Tether (USDT), and WINkLink (WIN).

Why the Suspension Matters Network upgrades often require exchanges to pause token transfers to ensure that transactions are not lost or processed incorrectly during the transition.

For Bithumb users, this means that while deposits and withdrawals are paused, trading on the spot market may continue, but users should verify the exchange’s specific notices for each token.
