“# Bithumb crypto exchange temporarily closes some offices due to COVID-19 <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Bithumb, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in South Korea, is preparing to close some of its offices due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

According to an official announcement<\/a> on Nov. 23, Bithumb will be temporarily suspending its offline support center in Gangnam to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Bithumb noted that the number of domestic confirmed cases of the coronavirus disease has increased, causing local authorities to adopt more preventive measures.<\/p>\n

Bithumb\u2019s support center in Seoul will be closed on Nov. 24 until further notice. In the meantime, Bithumb will operate an online customer support center.<\/p>\n

Bithumb has been actively posting on its blog<\/a> in recent months, but none of the announcements have touched upon a reported investigation targeting its executives. As reported, South Korean police conducted at least two raids on Bithumb\u2019s offices in connection to the alleged fraud, while the company\u2019s chairman Lee Jung-hoon was reportedly summoned for interrogation. Bithumb has not responded to any of Cointelegraph\u2019s requests for comment.<\/p>\n

As reported by Cointelegraph, the pandemic has had a major impact on the blockchain and crypto industry so far, app<\/a>arently being one of the key reasons behind Bitcoin\u2019s (BTC) parabolic rise in 2020. According to some industry executives, COVID-19 did not negatively impact the blockchain industry but drove increased demand for blockchain innovation and adoption.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
