WikiBit Exchange Exit Risk Ranking #18: Poloniex — How Did the 12-Year “Living Fossil” of the Crypto Industry Become a “Top Wanted Target” in the Eyes of Regulators?

Preface: The Two Sides of a “Legacy Brand”　　In the previous 17 editions, we investigated a series of exchanges ranging from HashKey to BigONE. Today, in the 18th edition, we turn our attention to a true “ancient beast” of the crypto world — Poloniex.　　Its résumé could be described as a “living fossil among crypto exchanges”:　　“Founded in 2014,” “12 years of operating history,” “one of the earliest exchanges to introduce Proof of Reserves (PoR),” “maintaining a reserve ratio above 100% for 20 consecutive months,” “a $100 million user protection fund,” “daily trading volume exceeding $1.1 billion in April 2026, surpassing Bitget and MEXC,” “supporting more than 350 cryptocurrencies” — doesnt that sound like the perfect image of a “long-established and reliable major exchange”？　　But on the other side of the story:　　The Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA) issued a public warning in March 2026, stating that the company operating Poloniex had already been dissolved on January 1, 2022, and was no longer a legitimate legal entity.　　The U.S. SEC previously fined Poloniex $10 million, accusing it of knowingly operating an unregistered securities trading platform.　　Indias Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU-IND) ordered Poloniex to be blocked for violating anti-money laundering regulations.　　Trustpilot gave Poloniex a score of only 2.0/5,

Upbit is ending BONK trading support on September 7

Upbit is ceasing support for trading $BONK on Monday, thereby taking away one of the two major South Korean exchanges for the Solana meme coin, while its rival Bithumb goes the other way and supports it.　　The end of trading comes as a matter of urgency for traders from Korea, as Upbit is removing the $BONK/KRW and $BONK/USDT pairs at 15:00 KST on September 7, 2026, which means the cancellation of open orders. Withdrawals for $BONK will be available until October 7.　　Korean markets carry weight outside of the exchange in question. The Asia Capital Markets Report 2026 by the OECD indicates Korea and India saw the highest absolute inflow of crypto-assets in Asia in the 12 months leading to June 2025.　　Two exchanges, one incident, opposite calls　　On July 7, Upbit and Bithumb put $BONK under the designation of “trading caution.” The concern that led to this designation is mentioned in a notification from Bithumb on July 7: it has to do with a security incident, the cause of which was either unknown or unresolved, as well as whether any significant information has been disclosed in a timely manner.　　A month later, the two exchanges parted ways.　　On August 7, Bithumb lifted its caution status,

Solana News Brings ARB via Sunrise as Trading Fee Debate Grows

TLDR:Solana news brings ARB trading through Sunrise, expanding access while drawing attention to competing claims about fees and execution.Steven Goldfeder emphasizes protection against harmful MEV, while Anatoly Yakovenko argues that Arbitrum offers worse spreads and higher fees.SOL trades at $106.02 after gaining 2.5%, while daily trading volume increases 63.8%, without establishing a direct link to the ARB listing.Support near $105 and resistance at $107.37 frame the immediate technical setup, with a decline below $104.94 weakening the recovery.　　Solana news centers on ARB arriving through Sunrise while SOL trades at $106.02, up 2.5% over 24 hours. The listing gives traders another venue for the asset and brings trading costs into focus. Solana promotes better spreads and lower fees, while rival executives disagree over how those costs should be measured.　　According to Coingecko data, SOL trading volume climbs 63.8% to $3.49 billion during the same period. That increase accompanies the price recovery, although it does not establish that the ARB launch caused either move. Attention now turns to execution quality, available liquidity, and support near the closely watched $105 level.　　Solana news puts Sunrise ARB launch and fees in focus　　Solana announced that ARB is available on its network through Sunrise, presenting the expansion as access

Crypto Holders Turn to Loans as Markets Cool in 2026: CQ

Crypto holders increased their use of digital asset-backed loans in 2026 as weaker markets reshaped borrowing habits and collateral preferences.　　Crypto holders relied more on loans backed by digital assets as market conditions weakened in 2026, according to research from CryptoQuant.　　The report analyzed data from crypto lender CoinRabbit. It found higher borrowing activity among both retail and high-net-worth users.　　Borrowing Activity Rises　　Crypto-backed loans allow holders to access cash without immediately selling their digital assets. Borrowers usually pledge more collateral than they receive, but falling prices can trigger liquidation or require more collateral.　　According to the report, retail users recorded the biggest change in borrowing activity during the period. Their average number of loans rose 74%, from 30.8 per user in 2025 to 53.5 in 2026, while high-net-worth users rose 18%, from 16.5 to 19.4.　　Repeat borrowing also became more common across the platform. The share of users taking multiple loans increased from 61.9% to 65.1%. Retail borrowers waited an average of 21 days between loans, compared with 11 days previously.　　Beyond borrowing activity, collateral preferences also shifted, particularly among wealthier users. Bitcoins share of pledged assets among high-net-worth users fell from 57.8% to 30.5%, while Zcash reached 24.2% after not appearing among the previous top

Three DeFi projects face possible exclusion from future Arbitrum DAO programs

Arbitrums Watchdog Committee, a grant oversight body, has given three DeFi projects until a tentative Sept. 10 deadline to answer high-severity misuse findings and return funds it considers unresolved, or face separate votes on permanent exclusion from future DAO programs.　　Related Asset Arbitrum #55 ARB · $0.18 24-hour change: up 14.37% Price history is not available. 24H Up 14.37% 7D Up 107.27% 30D Up 133.77%　　The cases name Good Entry, Limitless and APX Finance, formerly ApolloX. Their cited figures add to 457,553 ARB, but that total combines different findings rather than representing one amount established as stolen, outstanding or recoverable.　　As of Sept. 5, no response from any of the projects appeared in the proposal thread. The committee described the schedule as tentative and said a vote would follow only if a projects explanation is unsatisfactory and its respective funds are not returned within the one-week window. No ban has been approved.　　For Good Entry, the committee said on-chain analysis found 142,839 ARB was distributed to 1,032 ineligible users during and after the Short-Term Incentives Program. It also alleged self-farming by wallets connected to team addresses and said the project refused to provide clarification. Good Entrys grant application requested 200,000 ARB, so the watchdog

Bitcoins faces a weird new macro reality as the Fed turns off the tap and Treasury opens the floodgates

Bitcoins current rally started when the Treasury Department announced on Aug. 19 that, beginning Sept. 9, it would at least double the maximum size of certain buyback operations for government bonds with 10 to 30 years left to maturity, raising the cap from $2 billion to $4 billion per operation.　　Related Asset Bitcoin #1 BTC · $79,922.41 24-hour change: down 0.09% 24H Down 0.09% 7D Up 1.14% 30D Up 23.60%　　Simply put, the Treasury was offering to buy more older long-term bonds from dealers that wanted to sell them.　　Later that day, the Federal Reserve released minutes from its July meeting, where three members had voted for a quarter-point rate increase, and many others thought another hike would be needed if inflation failed to retreat.　　The central bank kept its target range at 3.50% to 3.75%, though the debate had already moved from how long rates should stay high to whether they should go higher.　　At first, Washington seemed to be pushing bond markets in two directions. The Fed was trying to make money more expensive across the economy, while Treasury debt managers were trying to make older long-term government bonds easier to trade.　　They have different jobs, though borrowers and investors experience both at once,
