To securely custody user assets, a portion of user assets is stored in cold wall

To securely custody user assets, a portion of user assets is stored in cold wallets. We will perform cold-to-hot wallet asset transfers from time to time to manage the inventory. However, if assets in hot wallets are not sufficient to meet user withdrawal demands, an extra step is needed to transfer cold wallet assets to the hot wallet. This may cause delays of up to 24 hours to receive withdrawals.

Checklist

  1. Learn more about hot and cold wallets.
  2. If you prefer not to wait, you may cancel the withdrawal request yourself.

Notes

If you prefer not to wait, you may cancel the withdrawal request yourself.

After cancellation, the current withdrawal process will be cleared. If you still need to withdraw, you’ll need to submit a new request.Please note that during asset transfers between cold and hot wallets, new withdrawal requests will still need to wait for funds to be transferred from the cold wallet to the hot wallet before they can be processed. Therefore, canceling and resubmitting a withdrawal will not speed up the process. We recommend deciding whether to continue waiting or cancel based on your situation. Thank you for your understanding.
