What You Need To Know
According to the warnings, Terra’s (LUNA) and 3AC’s collapse resulted in “immense anguish” for the exchange due to its huge exposure to the dropped tokens. Rumors connected KuCoin’s intention to restrict withdrawals with these events.
Lyu underlined the company’s solid position by revealing a recent $150 million fundraising, which set the company’s worth at $10 billion in May 2022, while dispelling the purported claims made through the aforementioned tweet.
Be aware of FUDs!
Not sure who's spreading these sheer rumors, and what their intentions are, but #KuCoin does not have any exposure to LUNA, 3AC, Babel, etc.
No “immense suffer” from any “coin collapse”, no plan to halt withdrawal, everything on KuCoin is operating well.

He also mentioned that the business is presently hiring for a number of roles, urging investors to exercise their own judgment despite the continued FUD:

Tether’s chief technical officer, Paolo Ardoino, recently said that hedge funds attempting to short-sell the crypto asset linked to the US dollar have launched a “coordinated attack” against the stablecoin Tether (USDT).

I have been open about the attempts from some hedge funds that were trying to cause further panic on the market after TERRA/LUNA collapse.
It really seemed from the beginning a coordinated attack, with a new wave of FUD, troll armies, clowns etc. https://t.co/hhcsgHV1Ow— Paolo Ardoino 🍐 (@paoloardoino) June 27, 2022
In addition to mentioning Tether’s recent promise to gradually reduce its exposure to commercial paper, Ardoino noted that the company is working with regulators and has improved its transparency efforts.
