  One of the main reasons for pausing withdrawals after a collapse is to ensure the security of funds. When a collapse occurs, there may be vulnerabilities in the exchange's systems that need to be addressed before allowing withdrawals. By temporarily pausing withdrawals, the exchange can conduct thorough security audits and implement necessary measures to protect user funds. This helps to prevent any further loss or compromise of assets.

  Another reason for pausing withdrawals is to prevent panic selling. In the wake of a collapse, there is often a surge in selling pressure as traders rush to liquidate their holdings. By temporarily pausing withdrawals, exchanges can help stabilize the market and prevent a further decline in prices. This gives traders time to reassess the situation and make more informed decisions, rather than acting out of fear or panic.
