• OKEx had paused all withdrawals since reports emerged on Oct. 16,  2020 that Xu had been arrested
• Withdrawals had been suspended as Xu reportedly held the exchanges’s wallet key, though trading resumed shortly after 
• If Xu does indeed return to his role at OKEx, the exchange may resume withdrawals after over a month of suspension
• The OKEx token has surged in value since the rumours began circulating, rising nearly 17% over the past 24 hours
