Zipmex, a cryptocurrency exchange that operates in markets like Singapore and Thailand, said on Sunday it was considering a possible offer after talks with interested parties, and that due diligence should commence.
The Asian platform was among several in the digital-assets industry encountering financial difficulties in recent weeks. On Thursday, it halted withdrawals as the fallout from a series of defaults spread further throughout the industry.
Zipmex’s chief marketing officer Proud Limpongpan declined to elaborate on the negotiations, citing a confidentiality clause.
Important Announcement
