[Mercado Bitcoin Initiates Phased Platform Recovery, Initial Phase Only Allows Balance Viewing] Brazilian cryptocurrency exchange Mercado Bitcoin announced on its X platform that it began a phased recovery on November 9th (local time). Users can log back into their accounts through the website, with access gradually reopening starting at 16:00 local time, and all customers are expected to have restored access by 18:00. In the first phase, users can only view their total balance and asset details; trading and other operations are temporarily unavailable. The exchange stated that customer balance records are intact, and this incident has not affected user assets, investments, or Real balances. The platform will restore customer balances using its own funds, and balances will be updated synchronously as access is restored and the market reopens. The exchange also reminds users to log in directly through the official website address in their browser and not through links in other messages.
