Zipmex<\/a> Thailand, a crypto exchange that operates in Thailand, Australia, and Indonesia, has halted new deposits and trading on its exchange, citing compliance with Thailand\u2019s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exchange posted a statement on its Facebook page,\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> informing its customers of the decision and apologizing for any inconvenience caused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zipmex clarified that withdrawals will be processed normally until January 31, 2024,<\/strong> at which point customers will need to contact the exchange\u2019s customer support team for assistance in withdrawing funds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exchange also advised its customers to update their KYC information and bank account details to ensure a smooth withdrawal process. The exchange did not provide any details on when or if it will resume its services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zipmex Thailand\u2019s suspension comes amid regulatory and financial challenges for the exchange. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by The Block, Zipmex faces penalties from Thailand\u2019s SEC related to Zipmex Thailand\u2019s alleged misuse of a digital asset custodian service and for funneling customers to the Singapore-based exchange Zipmex Pte, creating a conflict of interest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zipmex has also struggled to repay creditors after losing funds through exposure to crypto lenders Babel Finance and Genesis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A planned $100 million buyout of Zipmex<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a> fell apart earlier this year when the buyer, reportedly V Ventures, dropped out of the purchase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
