+0.7%Hyperliquid users face wallet restrictions after receiving HTX transfers
Image: Crypto.newsHyperliquid users report that their wallets were flagged as high risk after receiving funds linked to the crypto exchange HTX. The restrictions prevent affected traders from collecting rewards like Kinetiq Season 2. The issue stems from compliance screening following United Kingdom sanctions against HTX. Traders question how indirect transfers impact unrelated wallets. Platforms determine restrictions using data from compliance providers.
Key points
- A Hyperliquid trader reported a wallet flag after receiving a loan repayment from a friend using HTX.
- Affected users state they cannot collect Kinetiq Season 2 rewards due to the wallet restrictions.
- United Kingdom sanctions were placed on HTX in May following accusations of services connected to Russia-linked entities.
- A trader claimed Hyperliquid uses Chainalysis as a screening provider, though this is not independently confirmed.
Why it matters
Sanctions screening and third-party compliance tools can restrict wallets and block reward claims for users who interact indirectly with sanctioned exchanges.
What's unclear
Whether small transfers from HTX automatically trigger wallet flags on Hyperliquid remains unknown.
Hyperliquid has not publicly explained which specific screening rules or transactions triggered the flags.
