Exchanges have their own terms and conditions which you agreed to while creating your account, probably you didn't even read anything in TOS, just clicked agree and created it that's why it comes to your knowledge only after it happens.
1. Exchange have their term for their service
2. The user it's also at fault in these case.
Inactivity fees? This is the first time I heard of this being implemented on an exchange, but if it's on their TOS, I guess you agreed with it since you created an account without reading their TOS, and just clicked on that small box at the bottom.
I traded on HitBTC from 2017 to 2025 until they blocked my account for no reason.
From 1 June 2021 HitBTC started charging for accounts inactivity fee that wasn't previously in the agreement and didn't warn about it - this is one of the methods they use for scam.
is logging in at least considered an activity in the exchange?
Only trading is considered an activity.
Currently my 133k dogecoin are locked, and 4k of inactivity fee are gone.
Hi All
I am a victim of HitBTC scam(22.7k USDT).
Since HitBTC ignores requests from law enforcement agencies and hides its address, the only option left is to turn to
authoritative sources in the crypto industry.
At this stage I have already contacted
Coinmarketcap.com and
Coingecko.com - they are the world's largest independent cryptocurrency data aggregators.
I provided them with a screen recording of my verified account taken before HitBTC reset my verification(KYC) and blocked my account for no reason. Also provided all reports and other evidence of HitBTC fraudulent activity.
While there is progress on
Coingecko.
Coingecko is interested in my evidence, but they need
complaints from us
