Brazilian cryptocurrency exchange Mercado Bitcoin announced a phased restoration of platform access starting this week. Customers can log back into their accounts via the website, with the reopening proceeding gradually from 16:00 local time and expected to cover all customers by 18:00. The exchange had previously suspended deposits and withdrawals due to a hacker attack, with estimated losses between $38 million and $46 million. Mercado Bitcoin stated that customer balance records remain intact, and the amount of assets, investments, and Brazilian real balances for each customer have not been affected. The company will use its own funds to replenish the transferred balances. This recovery is the first phase; customers can currently only check their balances and holdings. Withdrawals and trading functions remain suspended and will be restored in phases after security checks are completed.
