The "Proof of Keys" event is tomorrow on January 3rd.
This event is to encourage people to take possession of their crypto holdings
rather than leaving them on an exchange.
HitBTC had already frozen people accounts before this event and the fear is
that HitBTC may not have liquidity, meaning they don't have the BTC and other coins
to give their customers if too many pull their crypto off the exchange.
People have been talking that some exchanges may be frozen or die.
Frankly I agree with this idea of pulling off what they can afford to pull off
from exchanges if you can learn proper storage or holding of your keys/your coins.
I for one lost lots of BTC and other crypto on a few exchanges in the past,
and know others who have also.

People are worried it could cause kind-of a bank run and then panic.
Here is a decent video discussing it:

It's a great event, yes some of us thought that we left our asset in Exchange for several reasons, for lay people like me probably because I think there pretty safe asset and I am not too much there. But now I realize that there is a lot of crime out there so do the internet trying to take other people's assets. I hope her show is going smoothly and resulted in good results.

I found this video this morning about the event. It's very well produced and worth watching:
