2gether, a Spanish cryptocurrency trading platform, was hacked for roughly $1.4 million and business executives claim they don’t have the money to settle clients.
Chief executive officer Ramon Ferraz Estrada stated within the span of many tweets on Monday the violation of July 31 influenced crypto investment balances and vulnerable user keys.
A different statement later voiced the exchange’s doubts over reimbursing the stolen funds, citing a lack of fiscal ability. Rather, company officials provided clients the bourse’s native 2GT token as complete reparation.
“In the two days following the attack, we’ve been working on finding the funds needed to cover all positions,” stated 2gether from the announcement.
“More specifically, and until a few minutes ago, we’ve been working with an investment group with which we sadly haven’t been able to reach an agreement,” it included.
On July 31, hackers supposedly spirited off €1.18 million ($1.4 million) in the trading platform’s cryptocurrency investment coffers – the equal of 27% of 2gether’s total capital. No additional detail was shown about how precisely the attack occurred.
“We want to compensate the amount of stolen cryptocurrency (26.79% of your position before the attack) with a volume in 2GT equivalent to the issuance price of 5 cents,” that the exchange pleaded.
“On top of that, we commit to keep looking, at top capacity and as soon as possible, for additional funds to make up for every single one of your cryptocurrencies,” it stated. 2gether’s token permits for in-house exchange trades only.


The exchange is likely an Ask-Me-Anything (AMA) session on Reddit attend to customer questions while further updates, possibly particularly on the uncertain settlement deadline, will likely be shared on social networking.
