Bitcoin (BTC) deposits and withdrawals have returned to Justin Sun-affiliated crypto exchange HTX, formerly Huobi, after it suffered a $30 million exploit on November 22nd.
In a November 26 blog post, HTX said deposit and withdrawal functionality was back for multiple currencies, including BTC, Ether (ETH), Tron (TRX), and Tether (USDT).
In a later post
The majority of the work has been completed and we plan to gradually restore the remaining currencies over the next few days. All work is expected to be completed by next week.

$30 million was stolen from the HTX exchange’s hot wallets, one of four hacks in half as many months on Sun-affiliated or controlled crypto platforms.
The HTX Eco (HECO) chain bridge – consisting of HTX, Tron and BitTorrent, all affiliated with or controlled by Sun – was attacked for $86.6 million on the same day as HTX.

Sun-owned crypto exchange Poloniex also suffered a $100 million attack on November 10, which blockchain security firm CertiK said was likely due to a private key compromise.
On September 24, shortly after Huobi rebranded to HTX, an attacker stole nearly $8 million worth of cryptocurrencies from the exchange’s hot wallet.
