- Au cours des 30 derniers jours, le portefeuille Paxful est resté opérationnel et tous les fonds appartenant aux utilisateurs étaient accessibles sans aucun problème.
- En avril, il a été révélé que le marché P2P fermerait en raison du départ d'employés clés, d'incertitudes réglementaires, etc.

Paxful, a peer-to-peer (P2P) marketplace that allows people to buy, sell, and trade digital assets, has finally announced that it will restart operations after almost a month. Interestingly, the marketplace was closed in April due to the departure of key employees, regulatory uncertainties, and a recent lawsuit filed by one of the company’s co-founders. However, it seems that the platform has decided to resume operations and will gradually start to onboard users around the world.
Selon un message sur le site officiel de Paxful, l'équipe de développement vient de lancer la place de marché après plus de 30 jours d'inactivité. De nombreux membres de la communauté crypto ont utilisé la plate-forme pour acheter et vendre des actifs cryptographiques au fil des ans, et la plate-forme est également spéciale pour les commerçants régulateurs.
“After a month away, we’re happy to announce that the Paxful marketplace is back online. In early April, we faced a difficult decision to temporarily suspend the marketplace to protect all of our customers and Paxful’s future,” read the message on the official website.
On ne sait pas comment le marché P2P vise à aller de l'avant, mais au cours des 30 derniers jours, le portefeuille Paxful est resté opérationnel et tous les fonds appartenant aux utilisateurs étaient accessibles sans aucun problème. De nombreux clients ont déclaré que leurs comptes avaient été interdits suite à la récente suspension des services. On ne sait pas si le marché a réglé ce problème.
Récemment, le PDG de Paxful Ray Youssef a révélé que 88% des fonds gelés on the P2P marketplace have been unfrozen, with over 3% of funds remaining frozen. These 3% of the funds were “in the hands of the US regulators,” according to Youssef, who added that he doesn’t have the power to unfreeze these funds. He apologized to those whose funds remain unfrozen due to compliance issues with regulators, adding, “I have done more than anyone else would even entertain, and I cannot do anymore by law.”
The executive stated that unfreezing the 88% of frozen funds was his “final act” as the CEO of Paxful, and after achieving this goal, Youssef revealed that he was stepping down as the Chief Executive Officer of the peer-to-peer marketplace on April 18 and continuing with a new project. However, the website continues to mention Yussef as the CEO.
“Throughout the suspension, the Paxful Wallet remained fully operational for our users, and the community was also offered a selection of peer-to-peer platforms to continue trading on. Over the last month, our team has worked diligently to get the marketplace back online with the safety and security of users paramount,” said the P2P marketplace.
As reported earlier by Bitnation, Nigerians relied on Paxful’s peer-to-peer marketplace to carry out crypto transactions following a ban on crypto trading in the country. The African country was ranked 8th in crypto usage and adoption. As a result, the les gens n'étaient pas contents avec la fermeture du marché.
Also, key court documents from March show that Youssef and co-founder Artur Schaback threw allegations at each other over misappropriation of company funds, money laundering, and evasion of US sanctions against Russia, prior to the halt of the P2P marketplace. It is also crucial to note here that Youssef is also working on Jack Dorsey’s Block’s TBD division, as the two aim to debut a new P2P marketplace.
