Huobi Global announced today that they will be suspending ZCash’s deposit and withdrawal and at the same time have reopened Monero’s deposit and withdrawal.

On 28th October ZCash will undergo a network update known as Sapling. Sapling introduces significant efficiency improvements for shielded transactions. With the Sapling upgrade, shielded transactions using ZK-Snarks can be constructed in a few seconds and with less than 40 MB of memory.

The Sapling upgrade also has introduced new features such as Decoupled Spend Authority and Improved keys.

Huobi Stops Moneros Deposits and Withdrawl

On September 19th, Huobi announced that they will be halting Monero deposits and withdrawal. The reason given by Huobi regarding the halting of XMR Deposits and Withdrawal was due to Monero’s node upgrade.
