CoinEx stated that usersโ€™ old deposit addresses would be upgraded to a new system and hastened to add that customers must refrain from using their old addresses for transactions as they will no longer function. Any assets sent to them would be irretrievably lost. 

The exchange warned its users of potential delays in processing withdrawal requests, anticipating a surge as operations resume.
