- Paxful ogłosił, że ponownie uruchomił rynek P2P po ponad 30 dniach bezczynności i będzie stopniowo przywracał funkcjonalność.
- W ciągu ostatnich 30 dni Paxful Wallet nadal działał, a wszystkie środki należące do użytkowników były dostępne bez żadnych problemów.
- W kwietniu ujawniono, że rynek P2P zostanie zamknięty z powodu odejścia kluczowych pracowników, niepewności regulacyjnej itp.
- Co-founder Ray Youssef is also working with Jack Dorsey’s Block’s TBD division to create a new P2P marketplace.
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.
Według wiadomość na oficjalnej stronie internetowej Paxful zespół programistów uruchomił platformę handlową po ponad 30 dniach bezczynności. Wielu członków społeczności kryptograficznej przez lata korzystało z platformy do kupowania i sprzedawania aktywów kryptograficznych, a platforma jest również wyjątkowa dla handlowców regulacyjnych.
“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.
Nie jest jasne, w jaki sposób rynek P2P ma się rozwijać, ale w ciągu ostatnich 30 dni Paxful Wallet nadal działał, a wszystkie środki należące do użytkowników były dostępne bez żadnych problemów. Wielu klientów powiedziało, że ich konta zostały zablokowane po niedawnym zawieszeniu usług. Nie jest jasne, czy rynek to rozwiązał.
Ostatnio CEO Paxful Ray Youssef ujawnił, że 88% zamrożonych funduszy 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 ludzie nie byli szczęśliwi wraz z zamknięciem rynku.
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.
