In regards to supporting the team, there were official updates given about the current status of the case plans. Notably the last notice was released in June 2021 stating the claim process is at stage 1. Thus, a solid number of users are following up the registration process successfully. And nearly, 55,000 users have been guided to the 4 stage process through our customer service team.
Claims Four-Stage Plans
Initially, the clients have to claim their registration disclosing the account holder details and to raise a claim for their balance. The second step is the identity verification process where the submitted documents will be verified for quality work. Thirdly, it reflects the claim acceptance notice which agrees that Cryptopia will represent the due amount. Finally, after all these verifications, the assets will be transferred to the appropriate accounts.
Hence the entire Cryptopia team was strongly supporting its users and guiding them through the efficient process. Further to enhance more crypto projects, Cryptopia community is planning to secure the cryptopia wallets to assist the transfer process of the assets.
Cryptopia faced a worst time in the marketplace by going through many challenges. Besides, million dollar hack, the former employee of Cryptopia cheated nearly $250K of digital assets. The employee smartly made duplicate keys of the customer’s wallets and stole this huge amount. Now this is also an additional case filed in the court which will be commencing by the end of this month.
