Cryptocurrency derivatives exchagne CoinFLEX has halted withdrawals due to unfavorable market conditions and uncertainty linked to an unnamed counterparty, according to an update posted earlier this Thursday.
The trading platform is aiming to fully resume withdrawals by June 30. The deadline is based on its “current understanding” of the situation.

On Wednesday, the shares of crypto platform Voyager Digital collapsed more than 60% after it revealed its massive exposure to 3AC.
Crypto lending platform Celsius, which suddenly halted withdrawals on June 13, is yet to resume them.
Originally launched as a crypto platform for trading physically-settled Bitcoin futures, the exchange launched branched out into the yield farming business.
In December 2021, it became the first centralized cryptocurrency exchange to launch its first decentralized autonomous organization (DAO).
