An exchange operational halt is a temporary suspension of trading or other services on a cryptocurrency exchange platform. These halts can be triggered by extreme market volatility, technical issues, security breaches, regulatory directives, or system upgrades. During a halt, users may be unable to deposit, withdraw, or trade digital assets, impacting liquidity and access to funds. Such events can cause significant market disruption and user concern.
