![]() Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) had slapped a business improvement order on Coincheck, indicting the firm - whose virtual currency license was pending at the time of the hack - for its lax security practices. Monex: We’ve Complied with FSA Order Source: Monex REP, the native asset of Augur’s controversial prediction market platform, was also removed from the exchange. Notably absent are privacy-centric cryptocurrency assets monero (XMR), zcash (ZEC), and dash (DASH), which - presumably under regulatory pressure following the January hack - the firm delisted in June. In the future, the exchange, now under new management following its acquisition by publicly-traded financial services firm Monex Group, intends to resume trading for five more altcoins: ethereum (ETH), ripple (XRP), NEM (XEM), lisk (LSK), and factom (FCT). Previously, current Coincheck customers could buy and sell bitcoin, but all other markets remained closed. The Tokyo-based cryptocurrency trading platform, which lost a record $530 million in NEM tokens (XEM) after an attacker breached its hot wallet in January, made the announcement on Tuesday, more than nine months after the hack forever etched the exchange’s name in crypto infamy.Īccording to a statement, Japanese residents who pass the platform’s enhanced KYC verification can immediately begin opening new accounts at Coincheck and trading four cryptocurrencies: bitcoin (BTC), bitcoin cash (BCH), litecoin (LTC), and ethereum classic (ETC).
