The Catch: Deposits and Withdrawals of FSN Have Been Suspended on Huobi

With such a high variance in prices between Huobi and other exchanges, it is easy for a crypto trader to make a considerable amount of profit buying Fusion (FSN) on one exchange at $0.10, then selling on Huobi at $0.77. Such a trade would generate 670% in profits. This means that with $100 dollars worth of FSN, one can make $670 selling the same amount on Huobi.

However, this cannot happen because deposits and withdrawals of Fusion (FSN) have been disabled on the exchange since September 2019. This is a period of over 6 months. The team at Huobi issued a statement with the suspension that explained that they were experiencing a technical issue with their Fusion wallet.

Due to technical issues of the Fusion wallet, Huobi Global has temporarily suspended the deposit and withdrawal of FSN. Resumption time will be announced via our news channel. We are sorry for any inconveniences caused during the temporary suspension!
