In a timely reminder, cryptocurrency enthusiasts are advised to withdraw their Monero (XMR) coins ahead of the upcoming public audit on April 18th. This year’s audit aligns with Monero’s 11th birthday, marking a notable event that has raised questions about the stability of exchanges that handle XMR transactions. As controversy mounts surrounding exchanges like Gate.io and MEXC, users are rallying for transparency and security in their digital assets.
Each April, Monero users participate in a ritualistic audit of XMR reserves. This year, the call is louder than ever as troubling reports emerge of exchanges like Gate.io, which stated it is "gradually phasing out services related to XMR." Such announcements spark fears among users who rely on these platforms for their transactions.
Moreover, XMR is glaringly absent from Gate.io’s "Proof of 100% Reserves" list, raising red flags about the integrity and transparency of their operations. Additionally, MEXC has reported significant issues regarding XMR withdrawals, which compounds concerns for those trading this privacy-focused cryptocurrency. These issues have caused some to state, "Go where it's been a stable coin for more than half a decade."
With the countdown to the audit underway, the Monero community is notably divided. On one side, you’ve got users fueled with excitement, shouting “Let’s go!” and vowing to ensure their assets are secure. On the flip side, there's a palpable sense of frustration and mistrust evident in discussions surrounding exchanges that fail to honor withdrawal requests.
"If you feel like reposting this on r/MEXC_official or other subs, go for it! They banned my post for it," one user remarked, emphasizing growing discontent.
