Executives later suggested some of the funds could not be recovered because the attackers had withdrawn $1 million in XRP and $2.8 million in ZEC through Poloniex.<\/p>\n<p>According to data from CoinMarketCap, the total volume on EXMO\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coinmarketcap.com\/exchanges\/exmo\/\">fell<\/a>\u00a04.9% in the last 24 hours. The incident in December caused the exchange to lose about 5% of its total assets, though only EXMO\u2019s hot wallets were reportedly affected by the hack.<\/p>\n<p>Maria Stankevich, the chief business development officer at EXMO, told Cointelegraph that since the December breach the exchange has implemented a number of measures to reduce the possibility of a future attack. She said EXMO transferred cryptocurrency withdrawals to the custody arm of hardware wallet manufacturer Ledger, and created a bug bounty program to test the exchange, among other solutions.<\/p>\n<p>As of Jan. 10, all crypto exchanges in the U.K. are required to be registered with the country\u2019s Financial Conduct Authority, which verifies they are in compliance with anti-money laundering regulations.
