User GlebG (OP) on bitcointalk reporting a dispute involving N.exchange , which is currently holding over 18 ETH ($40,000) of his funds. These assets were sent via the Exodus wallet’s integrated swap feature on April 8, 2026. Despite his immediate compliance with exhaustive KYC/AML requests and proof-of-funds verification, the exchange has refused to process the transaction or provide a timeline for the release of his assets.

Incident Breakdown​

  • Initial Action: Executed a swap of 18+ ETH through the Exodus built-in tool.
  • The Conflict: The incoming transaction to his wallet was canceled, and the funds remained trapped with N.exchange.
  • Exodus Stance: Exodus support has disclaimed all responsibility, directing me to resolve the issue directly with their third-party provider, N.exchange.
  • Current Status: N.exchange has entered a state of "perpetual review." Despite submitting all requested mining documentation and providing proof of wallet access within 20 minutes of their request, they continue to send automated, non-committal replies.

Key Findings Regarding N.Exchange​

  • Regulatory Status: While claiming UK registration, the entity is not listed in the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) Financial Services Register.
  • Operational History: Online reputation research indicates a recurring pattern of similar complaints, with some users reporting asset freezes lasting up to a year.
  • Communication: User GlebG (OP) have sent over 40 inquiries. The support team refuses to clarify the legal jurisdiction governing the hold, the specific risk indicators triggered, or the expected resolution date.

Statement from GlebG (OP)​

I am a legitimate miner. I have maintained clear records of my operations, including pool payouts and personal wallet management. My goal is to resolve this through transparency; however, N.exchange’s refusal to engage in meaningful communication or provide a concrete timeline suggests an intentional, bad-faith delay tactic rather than a standard compliance procedure.

Note to the community from Trêvoid: Use caution when utilizing "integrated" swap providers within wallets like Exodus. You are often dealing with third-party entities that may not be subject to the same regulatory oversight or transparency as the wallet provider itself.

I will provide further updates as this situation develops.

Best regards,
