HTX2026-08-18 16:56:51HTX-linked address accused of sending dust transfers that triggered reviews at other exchangesA wallet tied by Protos to Justin Sun-owned exchange HTX has drawn backlash on X after sending a series of small on-chain transfers, often described as dusting transactions, to deposit addresses on other trading platforms. Users claiming to be affected said the transfers came from 0xa03400E098F4421b34a3a44A1B4e571419517687 and caused their accounts to be reviewed because the activity appeared to connect them to sanctioned exchange HTX. Protos said the address is tagged as "HTX 48" on Etherscan and is also listed in HTX’s proof of reserves, which the outlet cited as grounds for treating it as an HTX-controlled wallet. The report also noted that UK and EU sanctions on HTX had already led exchanges including Bybit, OKX, and Binance to say they would stop processing HTX-related transactions or review accounts that interact with HTX. HTX_Molly, an X account verified as part of the HTX organization, said HTX’s official channels had not initiated any such transfers or test activity and that the company was still verifying the source and reason for the transactions. Protos said HTX did not immediately respond to its request for comment.590
