South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb has implemented temporary service suspensions for two altcoins: IP (Story token) and DIS (DisChain). For the Story token (IP), Bithumb announced that all deposits and withdrawals will be halted starting at 9:00 a.m. UTC on December 3, 2025, to support a scheduled network upgrade. This proactive measure aims to ensure long-term stability, improve transaction speed, and enhance security features, with trading on the spot market expected to continue normally.
Simultaneously, Bithumb has suspended DIS withdrawals due to ongoing network issues with the DisChain protocol. The exchange cited this as a precautionary step to protect user funds from potential transaction errors or losses, though no specific timeline for resolution was provided. Bithumb emphasized that both actions are standard operational procedures, reflecting their commitment to user security and technical integrity.
Users are advised to plan transactions around these suspensions and monitor official Bithumb announcements for updates on service restoration. The exchange assures that existing token balances remain safe, and these temporary pauses are designed to facilitate smooth technical transitions without broader market implications.
