De acties die zijn ondernomen door de Amerikaanse Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) met betrekking tot crypto staking en andere diensten die door cryptobedrijven worden geleverd, hebben de kritiek van de hele industrie gekregen en beleggers zijn niet blij. Na de aankondiging van het vertrek van de Amerikaanse markt in december, heeft cryptoleningbedrijf Nexo bevestigd dat het ook zijn Earn-programma voor klanten in de VS zal stopzetten. 

Volgens een blogpost Tijdens het weekend gepubliceerd, bevestigde Nexo dat na de schikking met de SEC, de North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA), bestaande uit alle 50 Amerikaanse staten en drie territoria, de procureur-generaal van New York, het Texas Department of Banking, de Washington Consumers Services Division en de Alaska Division of Banking and Securities, zal het zijn Earn-programma stopzetten terwijl de toezichthouders alle onderzoeken naar de crypto-leningfirma hebben stopgezet. 

“We would now like to inform you that we will be stopping our Earn Interest Product for all US clients, which includes US citizens and US residents (including US territories) on April 1, 2023, and all fixed terms will then be unlocked. As you are a US client, we ask that you begin planning the withdrawal of your funds at a convenient time by this date,” said Nexo in the blog post. 

It is also crucial to note that Nexo has ended new user registration in the US and will soon withdraw from the region completely. For clients in Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Wisconsin, California, and Washington, access to the Earn Interest Product was shut off on December 6, 2022. However, US investors do have access to other products “until further notice.”

Nexo engaged in “good-faith dialogues” with the US SEC and other regulators for over 18 months before reaching this decision and added that it is withdrawing from the region because of the “inconsistent and changing positions” of regulators. 

Additionally, the crypto lending platform confirmed that between now and April 1, 2023, the balances of each user on the platform “will continue to receive the same interest rate as that of the date of Nexo’s landmark resolution in the US (January 19, 2023).”

“This does not affect Nexo’s other services, which are fully functioning and processing transactions in real time as always, in order to support you in this transitional period,” added the firm.

For those who have outstanding credit lines, the crypto lending platform advised them to start planning their repayments and told them that they would be given a considerable amount of time to repay their loans and withdraw collateralized assets. On the other hand, if a non-US user’s account has been flagged as a US account, they will need to submit verification documents to confirm their identity. 

Nexo stated that “all acceptable supporting documents, except the tax return form, as indicated above, should be dated within the past three months and should show your residential address along with your name.”

Zoals eerder gemeld door Bitnation, de crypto-uitleenfirma onlangs spande een rechtszaak aan tegen de Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA) the same week that Bulgarian authorities raided Nexo’s offices and indicted four people on charges of money laundering.
