Kraken restricted accounts after 12,000 dust transfers tied to sanctioned HTX wallets. HTX denies involvement as EU sanctions take effect.
Kraken temporarily froze several user accounts after recording nearly 12,000 suspicious microdeposits, a tactic known in the industry as a dust attack. According to a Bloomberg report, the transfers originated from an address linked to HTX (formerly Huobi), immediately triggering the platform's automated anti-money laundering (AML) and sanctions compliance protocols.
HTX denied authorizing disputed microtransfers as Kraken maintained restrictions tied to U.K. sanctions against the exchange.
The EU has added HTX to Annex XLV of the Russia sanctions regulation; from August 23, 2026, transactions with the platform are prohibited. Anyone still holding a balance there can withdraw freely until then, and afterwards only with authorisation from the Deutsche Bundesbank.
Justin Sun described as “fabricated” the reports accusing HTX-linked wallets of sending small unsolicited USDT transfers to unrelated addresses. The issue is not theft but regulatory compliance: HTX is classified as a sanctioned counterparty in the United Kingdom and the European Union.
HTX denied initiating unusual small transfers linked to labeled exchange wallets as it investigates their source and reported account restrictions.
EU Council Decision 2026/1849 sets an Aug. 23, 2026 transaction ban on HTX and other crypto platforms; Binance has no public cutoff notice as of Aug. 16.
HTX says Binance's Aug. 23 transaction restrictions apply only to UK and EU users as the exchange continues negotiations with regulators.
