Tron (TRX) UPDATE: HitBTC and Cryptopia To Support Token Migration

Global Coin Report can now confirm that the Tron (TRX) token migration will also be supported on the two popular exchanges of Cryptopia and HitBTC. Justin Sun, via Twitter, retweeted the following tweet by Cryptopia further confirming the issue:

With respect to HitBTC, the exchange can now be confirmed to be part of the list provided by the Tron Foundation via their medium page. In a previous article, Global Coin report had got wind of the information of HitBTC supporting the migration, through a reader who had provided an email from the exchange in the comment section of the said article.

The email from HitBTC to our reader named ‘Toni’ was as follows:

“Dear Trader,

As it was already mentioned, HitBTC is going to support the Migration, so no actions are required to receive the new TRX coins.

By HitBTC Support Team”

Going back to the Cryptopia exchange, Global Coin Report had promised to update its users after one of our readers, Brad, commented the following in the same article mentioned above.

“I currently have some Tron on cryptopia but unfortunately tech support said they are not participating in the migration. It’s been in maintenance since May 9th they’re not sure when it will be out of maintenance if it’s still in maintenance after the migration what can I do I am not able to transfer anything. I guess my main question is if I transfer it to another exchange after the coin migration is done will that work thanks for the help.”

Summing it up, the Tron (TRX) token migration will happen on the 24th of June at 0:00 am (UTC + 8) or what Justin Sun likes to call ‘Singaporean Time’. At that time, all the exchanges participating in the token migration will freeze all deposits and withdrawals then take a snapshot of all balances on the exchanges. The token swap will then be done by the exchanges with no need for the users to intervene.

Once the migration is done, withdrawals and deposits will resume on the various cryptocurrency exchanges supporting the migration.

To note is that Binance will be supporting permanent token migration after the 24th. This means if you miss out on the dates of the 21st to the 24th, you can move your ERC20 Tron tokens to Binance and they will do the swap for you.
