Injective network has stopped producing blocks; Bithumb has
Bithumb announced that due to the Injective (INJ) network halting block production, it will suspend INJ deposits and withdrawals starting at 23:00 Korea time on November 9. Staking and unstaking requests will also stop at the same time, while spot trading will proceed as usual. The two sources reported consistent content, and neither mentioned the reason for the halt in block production or a recovery timetable.

Background and impact
On November 9, 2026, PANews at 14:08 and Odaily 星球日报 at 14:10 successively reported that South Korean exchange Bithumb issued an announcement stating that due to the Injective (INJ) network halting block production, it will suspend INJ deposits and withdrawals starting at 23:00 Korea time on November 9. Both reports cited Bithumb's announcement and gave exactly the same suspension time, involved token, and business scope.
According to the announcement, during the suspension period, INJ staking and unstaking requests will also stop at the same time, while spot trading will proceed as usual. For users rebalancing positions across borders or platforms, the handling rules are also clear: withdrawals submitted before the suspension but not completed will be processed sequentially, and deposits arriving after the suspension will be credited sequentially after resumption. Bithumb said that after the network returns to stability, it will reopen deposits and withdrawals and will update the relevant information in the original announcement.
Based on the materials from the two sources, there is no factual disagreement in this report; all content comes from Bithumb's unilateral announcement. Neither set of materials mentions the specific reason for the Injective network halting block production, the affected addresses, or the scope of validators, nor does it give an estimated recovery time. At the same time, no handling statement from Injective officials or other exchanges was seen. Bithumb's wording on the recovery condition remains at “after the network returns to stability,” which means the timing for reopening deposit/withdrawal and staking-related businesses depends on when network block production returns to normal, and the current materials contain no timetable for comparison.
In terms of scope of impact, this adjustment directly affects the fund in/out channel for INJ on the Bithumb platform: during the suspension window, on-chain transfers cannot be completed through this exchange; however, spot trading continues, and price matching is not restricted by the announcement. Staking and unstaking requests are also suspended at the same time, meaning users cannot adjust their staking status on this platform during this period, and related operations must wait until after resumption. This announcement involves only the Bithumb platform, and the materials do not mention measures by other exchanges; terms such as Huobi HTX registration app download, 芝麻Gate.io registration app download, Bitget registration app download, Binance registration app download, and OKX registration app download that some readers searched for are
