No explanation for the suspensions has been given aside from the fact the accounts violate Twitter's rules.
The Twitter accounts of several prominent figures in the cryptocurrency industry have been suspended.
CoinDesk became aware, at around 4:44 UTC, that accounts such as @thecryptodog, @woonomic, @KoroushAK and @100trillionusd had been suspended.
The accounts are popular within the crypto community garnering millions of followers for their bitcoin (BTC, +2.85%) and other crypto-related trading ideas.
"Twitter suspends accounts which violate the Twitter Rules," was the only reason given initially by the social media giant.
After the publication of this report, Willy Woo (@woonomic) tweeted that his account had been reinstated after roughly six hours.
In a message from Twitter included in the tweet, the reasons for the suspension were attributed to automated systems that had flagged his account as spam "by mistake."
