Huobi HTX condemns unilateral transfer of FLOW assets by Flow project party: damages users' legitimate rights, goes against decentralization spirit

Huobi HTX has issued a statement regarding the unilateral transfer of assets by the Flow project party. On December 27, 2025, due to a protocol layer vulnerability, a large amount of FLOW was illegally minted on the Flow network. After the incident, the platform actively verified the situation with the project party to confirm any anomalies and cooperated in risk management and on-chain tracking. However, the Flow project party unilaterally initiated the 'Isolated Recovery' plan without full communication with exchanges and users, forcibly transferring FLOW assets from centralized exchange addresses, including Huobi HTX, and planning to destroy them by January 30, 2026. Huobi HTX emphasizes that the assets being forcibly transferred and planned for destruction include a significant amount of FLOW obtained by ordinary users through legitimate market transactions. The actions of the Flow project party deviate significantly from decentralization and clear property rights principles, setting a negative example for industry asset security boundaries and seriously damaging the legitimate asset rights of the platform and users. Huobi HTX urges the Flow project party to adhere to the spirit of decentralization, respect the legitimate rights of users and exchanges, clearly distinguish between illegal minting and legitimate holdings, disclose a complete auditable post-analysis, and resolve legacy issues through active negotiation rather than unilateral technical means.
