"Continuously, we are pushing forward the global compliance process, which is also one of the important measures to cope with uncertainties and manage risks."

User safety

 Jun also added how compliance goes hand in hand with user safety.

"I have repeatedly stressed in public that Huobi has always put the safety of user assets in the first place, and that the safety of user assets is of paramount importance. Leon Li, CEO of Huobi, has personally laid down a number of ironclad rules: no touching on user assets, no market intervention, no user counterparty trading, and compliance with contracts."

"It is true that many exchanges in the cryptocurrency industry have experienced security problems for a long time, but Huobi has never had any problems since its establishment seven years ago, which shows that we have invested heavily in platform security and the effectiveness of control measures."

"In terms of asset storage, Huobi wallet uses multi-signature and threshold signature technology to ensure the security of the private key signature process, multi-person and multi-site backup to ensure the availability of private keys, and self-developed security hardware to ensure the robustness of storage."

"The address of our cold wallet is open for a long time, and anyone can check the balance of assets in our cold wallet on the chain, which is the bottom line of Huobi and the basis for many users to trust the platform. The private key manager of our cold wallet is as many as 15 people, basically, if one or several people occur to have any problem, it won't have any impact on the safety of the platform funds."
