KipCoin used to be a bitcoin exchange wallet service based in China. On February 18, the day of the Chinese Lunar New Year’s Eve, a message was posted on their website stating that their wallet servers were hacked and that they had lost over 3000 BTC.kipcoin bitcoin exchange

The bitcoin exchange claims that hackers moved the company’s funds to the following addresses:

Many members of the bitcoin community had expressed their concerns about websites similar to KipCoin. Their wallet service offered a 22% annualized interest paid daily. They had later expanded their service to include a FIAT exchange and also futures later on. It wouldn’t be the first time that we see such an operation turning out to be a well-disguised ponzi scheme. The KipCoin incident comes in just weeks after the Honk Kong based company MyCoin turned out to be a ponzi. Things are not as clear this time though.

KipCoin’s bitcoin exchange is temporarily shutting down?

In a statement the company released through the Chinese social media website Weibo, they mentioned that they will put all their services on hold temporarily. In this post, it was also mentioned that no Chinese Yuan were stolen from the accounts. KipCoin claimed that they will start cooperating with the police after February 25 which marks the end of the Chinese spring break holiday. According to their claims, available funds will be withheld until the investigation is complete.

A lot of frustration followed the unfolding of these events. Customers of the bitcoin exchange are angry over the lack of information that followed the alleged “hacking” and many went as far as to call the whole operation a ponzi scheme.
