Mercado Bitcoin Plans View-Only Reopening on Nov. 9 After Hack

Mercado Bitcoin will reopen in view-only mode on Nov. 9, allowing customers to check balances but not trade or withdraw, after a hack forced the exchange offline. The Brazilian platform said it will use company funds to replace affected assets rather than customer money. Full trading and withdrawals remain suspended pending a security clearance, with no timeline yet disclosed. The incident puts the exchange's reserves and remediation plan under scrutiny as users wait to regain access to their funds.
