Singapore-based crypto trading platform Zipmex has actually stopped a few of its core activities in reaction to its partner Celsius Network and Babel Finance’s monetary concerns, which it has actually exposed. Reportedly, the trading platform is seeking bankruptcy protection from the regional court.
With the current turn of events, Zipmex revealed it has actually sent an application for a moratorium in Singapore that will safeguard it from its creditors in the nation as long as it checks out different services to its concerns. Local media reported, 5 applications has actually been sent on last Friday (July 22) on behalf of the company’s various entities seeking moratoriums on legal procedures for approximately 6 months.
“We submitted moratorium applications in Singapore for all Zipmex entities,” Zipmex stated in the statement, “This helps protect Zipmex against third party actions, claims, and proceedings while it is active, and enables the team to focus all our efforts on resolving the liquidity situation, without having to worry about defending potential claims or adverse actions while we are doing so.
