After over a week of intensive efforts to address the security breach, which was reportedly orchestrated by North Korea’s Lazarus Group, CoinEx has undergone a complete reconstruction of its wallet system.

According to reports, CoinEx is prioritizing the creation and deployment of an entirely new wallet system that will support the 211 blockchains and 737 tokens originally served by the platform before the hack occurred.

CoinEx will resume these essential services for a total of 11 cryptocurrencies. To enhance security, the exchange will also update deposit addresses for the listed tokens, generating new deposit addresses for its users.

Users should take note that they should not deposit funds into old addresses on the platform, as doing so could result in permanent loss of assets.

The exchange has warned of a potential backlog of pending withdrawals as it resumes full operations. They have emphasized their commitment to ensuring the stability of the new wallet system and their cautious approach to resuming deposit and withdrawal services for additional assets.

CoinEx has maintained a 100% asset reserve policy to protect users against security threats. Previous updates following the hack confirmed that users’ assets were unaffected and that CoinEx’s User Asset Security Foundation was prepared to cover any financial losses that may occur.
