Crypto exchange Zipmex has now resumed withdrawals for a few altcoins apart from Bitcoin and Ethereum. So far, there are no updates about Bitcoin and Ethereum withdrawals. The halt in withdrawals on Zipmex happened after the two other exchanges Babel and Celsius froze withdrawals.
The crypto exchange has now started to allow users to withdraw some token from their trading accounts. Zipmex has also mentioned a timeline for withdrawals of Solana, XRP and Cardano from the trading wallets. Market movers such as Bitcoin and Ethereum still remain locked in.
The crypto exchange operates in Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia and also Australia and had paused withdrawals stating,
Volatile market conditions, and the resulting financial difficulties of our key business partners.
Sometime last week, Thailand’s Securities & Exchange Commission had passed an order to the Zipmex Thailand unit asking them to resume withdrawals on some digital coins. According to the timeline, Solana tokens will be delivered on Tuesday, while XRP withdrawals have to wait till Thursday, Cardano however will be made available for withdrawals on the same day as Solana’s.
Zipmex has a tie up with both Celsius and Babel and it has mentioned that both of these companies are of reputable status given the financial backing. It also stated that the due diligence regarding this case has been assured.
At the moment the company is continuing the recovery of the deposits from Babel Finance. Along with this, the crypto exchange also ensured that the rumours regarding the bankruptcy happens to be false. It clarified that it has filed for a moratorium with the Singapore court.
This ensures that Zipmex has enough time to look into the issues and decide on an acceptable outcome for the customers. In order to address the ongoing crisis around the liquidity, it is working with Celsius and Zipmex to figure out a rescue package with the investors.
