Shortly after Huobi’s disclosure announcement, concerns began to emerge over the asset snapshot of the asset reserve. Huobi moved his 10,000 Ethereum (ETH) from his Huobi 34 wallet “to Binance and OKX deposit wallets,” according to Wu Blockchain.
A total of 14,858 ETH was held in the wallet at the time of the snapshot. Just two minutes later, his 10,000 ETH in question was removed from his wallet.
The currently-discussed Huobi 34 wallet currently holds a total balance of around 18,000 ETH and continues regular transactions in and out of the wallet.
