Sve su veće sumnje u Huobijevu budućnost pošto su oštre glasine o otpuštanju demantovane

Update: Huobi later confirmed it plans to lay off up to 20% of its workforce, adding that the said plan is not implemented yet.

Speculation on Twitter that crypto exchange Huobi has laid off staff and shuttered internal communications have prompted the community to advise users to withdraw funds, despite an adviser to the exchange denying the rumors.

U 5. januara cvrkut, Huobi adviser Justin Sun addressed rumors of purported insolvency, saying the business development of the exchange was “good” and the “security of users’ assets will always be fully protected.”

Sun also seemingly brushed off speculation around disgruntled staff, saying Huobi will “fully respect the legal demands of local employees.”

Earlier, on Jan. 3, crypto journalist Colin Wu reported that Sun changed Huobi employee salaries from being paid in fiat to being paid in either Tether (USDT) ili USD novčić (USDC). Wu claimed the staff who disagreed with the change could be laid off.

HR Justina Sun-a komunicira sa svim zaposlenima u Huobi-ju kako bi promijenili obrazac plate iz fiat valute u USDT/USDC; zaposleni koji to ne mogu prihvatiti mogu biti otpušteni. Ovaj potez izazvao je proteste nekih zaposlenih. Ekskluzivno https://t.co/QB4sjDyHc7

Citing insiders, Wu reported in December that Huobi canceled year-end bonuses and was preparing to cut up to half of its 1,200 staff.

The move to change the salary payment from fiat to stablecoins sparked protests from some employees, according to Wu.

A 4. januara cvrkut from the Twitter account BitRun claimed that a “communication group with internal employees” at the exchange had been shut down and “all communication and feedback channels with employees” were blocked.

BitRun added they weren’t ruling out a revolt by Huobi employees who could “directly rug away user assets or programmers add backdoor Trojan horses” claiming the practice was “not protected by domestic laws.”

Huobi is based in Seychelles, with offices in Hong Kong, the United States, Japan and South Korea. It’s a publicly listed company on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong.

The ominous warning was enough for one Twitter user to TVRDITI Huobi “seems to be melting down in real-time” and others suggested users withdraw funds from the exchange due to the rumors.

Ako koristite Huobi
Razmislite o povlačenju sredstava sve dok FUD ne eksplodira

Neki prilično negativni sentimenti i optužbe se šire na Twitteru usmjerene protiv Huobija.

Neprovjereno, pa u skladu s tim izvršite vlastitu dužnu pažnju i upravljanje rizikom.
