<div class="cryptonews">
 <p class="is-style-lead">Crypto exchange HTX, previously known as Huobi, has unexpectedly deactivated its proof-of-reserves feature.</p>
 <p>This observation was noted today by popular fintech analyst Adam Cochran, Managing Partner at Cinneamhain Ventures. This development coincides with issues faced by the stablecoin TrueUSD (TUSD), reportedly linked to HTX stakeholder Justin Sun, struggling to stay aligned with its intended $1 value for over two weeks.&nbsp;</p>
 <p>Cochran also noted that live data from DefiLlama showed that HTX only had $120 million in ETH holdings, although the latest audit reported nearly $300 million.&nbsp;</p>

 <p>Earlier today, HTX’s <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="proof-" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/proof.html">proof-</a>of<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="-reserves" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/reserves.html">-reserves</a> webpage displayed no information regarding the exchange’s cryptocurrency holdings. Key data, including <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="reserve" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/reserve.html">reserve</a> ratios, wallet balances, and user asset totals, were <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="temporarily" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/temporarily.html">temporarily</a> absent from the page. Although the page has since been restored, the timing of this brief downtime is questionable, particularly in light of the ongoing challenges surrounding TUSD.</p>

 <p>This incident follows heightened scrutiny of TUSD, particularly concerning its purported lack of full backing. Since Jan. 7th, TUSD’s trading value has dipped below the $1 mark, as reported by CoinMarketCap.</p>
 <p>Concerns intensified earlier in the month when TrueUSD could not present timely attestations verifying that it held adequate U.S. dollar <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="reserves" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/reserves.html">reserves</a> to back the stablecoin. This lapse in transparency fueled conjectures about the possibility of TrueUSD being under-collateralized.</p>
