Crypto.com mistakenly sends Ethereum worth $400 mn to another exchange

Crypto.com has admitted that it mistakenly sent over $400 million in Ethereum digital coins to another crypto exchange called Gate.io.

Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek said in a tweet that the company was supposed to send 320,000 cryptos to one of its offline wallets, but accidentally sent it to a “whitelisted” address belonging to the corporate account at Gate.io.

“It was supposed to be a move to a new cold storage address, but was sent to a whitelisted external exchange address. We worked with Gate team and the funds were subsequently returned to our cold storage. New process and features were implemented to prevent this from reoccurring,” Marszalek acknowledged.
