Crypto.com accidentally transferred $400 million worth of ETH to another exchange, CEO says
Crypto.com mistakenly sent more than 320,000 ether ($400 million) to a rival crypto exchange called Gate on Oct. 21. This was revealed today after a Twitter user posted a screenshot inquiring why a large amount of ether had suddenly moved out of Crypto.com a few weeks ago. The firm’s CEO, Kris Marszalek, replied to the tweet, saying that the transfer was a result of human error. Marszalek said someone on his team had erroneously sent about 80% of the ether in their reserves to a "whitelisted exchange.” The funds had been scheduled to move to a new cold storage wallet, he said. We worked with the Gate team and the funds were subsequently returned to our cold storage," Marszalek said.
