According to Cointelegraph, Brazilian cryptocurrency exchange Mercado Bitcoin announced that it plans to resume deposits and withdrawals in Brazilian Reais through Brazil's instant payment system Pix starting next week. This comes more than two weeks after the exchange's hot wallet was attacked, resulting in a loss of approximately 49 million dollars.
Users can only withdraw to accounts under their own names, and the settlement earnings from fixed income products will also be credited. Cryptocurrency deposits and withdrawals are still suspended, and the exchange has not announced a specific date for resumption.
