Cryptocurrency exchange Zipmex has requested another extension that would allow for a longer moratorium on its debt in Singapore amid the firm\u2019s liquidity issues.<\/p>\n
In an April 18 announcement, Zipmex said it was currently in negotiations with investors in an attempt to \u201cmaximize returns for customers\u201d following a delay in payments. The firm said its Asia arm had filed a request in Singapore\u2019s courts to extend its existing moratorium period by two months. According to the exchange, it will use the extra time to plan and reopen Z Wallet withdrawals.<\/p>\n
Zipmex originally filed for a moratorium allowing the firm to postpone payments in July, amid a tumultuous year for the crypto market \u2014 the company had roughly $5 million in exposure to Celsius. The platform had suspended withdrawals earlier that month, while CEO Marcus Lim did not deny reports that the firm was facing insolvency. <\/p>\n
Singapore\u2019s courts granted Zipmex\u2019s moratorium request, giving the firm until December 2022 to come up with a restructuring plan. However, the platform has continued to request extensions on the moratorium, with the most recent one likely pushing its deadlines to June.<\/p>\n
