Today, ZachXBT referred to our team as "clowns" in a post that attempted to be humorous, falsely claiming that we accidentally sent funds to an incorrect address.

For the public record, we categorically state that the information in his post is a pure lie, because (a) the transaction in question does not belong to us, and (b) any professional researcher would recognize that the only Ethereum address we operate on is 0xf1da173228fcf015f43f3ea15abbb51f0d8f1123. There are no other addresses on the Ethereum blockchain, aside from deposit addresses that interact with this address, that are associated with our exchange.

This is not the first time ZachXBT has made unfounded statements on his botted Twitter account, seemingly for the sake of gaining attention (e.g. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=577207.msg64767483#msg64767483). We have previously cautioned the public about the risks of relying on the opinions of amateur researchers like ZachXBT and his teenage peers, once again demonstrated a lack of competence and professionalism.

Our respect for ZachXBT has diminished over time due to his repeated inaccuracies, but today marks a clear point where he has proven himself to be toxic, incompetent, and generally untrustworthy. We urge the community to verify information from credible sources and to approach claims made by civilians like ZachXBT with caution.



1. eXch is NOT laundering money for Lazarus/DPRK.

2. The insignificant portion of funds from the ByBit hack eventually entered our address 0xf1da173228fcf015f43f3ea15abbb51f0d8f1123 which was an isolated case and the only part processed by our exchange, fees from which we will be donated for the public good.

3. Any claims by ZachXBT and others on Twitter regarding transactions not related to 0xf1da173228fcf015f43f3ea15abbb51f0d8f1123 that are falsely attributed to eXch are a targeted FUD attack on our exchange.
