Prime Trust precisa ser colocado em concordata: Regulador de Nevada
- A Divisão de Instituições Financeiras de Nevada entrou com uma petição para colocar a Prime Trust em concordata.
- O regulador emitiu uma ordem de cessar e desistir contra o custodiante de criptomoedas em 21 de junho.
- The firm agrees with the petition due to the “substantial deficit between its assets and liabilities.”
- The petition states that the crypto custodian is “operating in an unsafe and unsound manner.”
The Nevada Financial Institutions Division has filed a petition with the Eighth Judicial District Court of Nevada to put crypto custodian and digital asset infrastructure provider Prime Trust in receivership after the regulator issued a cease-and-desist order against the firm on June 21 claiming that its financial condition had “considerably deteriorated.” The regulator has asked the court to appoint a receiver as well.
na petição arquivado by the Nevada regulator in the district court on June 26, the Financial Institutions Division asked for a temporary restraining order and an order appointing a receiver to Prime Trust Technologies, including the firm’s crypto business. On the other hand, the crypto firm has agreed to be placed into receivership because of the “substantial deficit between its assets and liabilities.”
The Nevada regulator asked the court to make an immediate appointment of Prime Trust with a receiver, stating that there is a risk of “irreparable harm” to customers, the public, and “confidence in the emerging market of cryptocurrency,” while adding that the company “is in an unsafe financial condition and/or is insolvent.” The regulator believes that the firm’s condition “will only progressively worsen as customers continue to withdraw,” said the petition.
Um comunicado de imprensa compartilhado by the regulator via its official account on social media platform Twitter confirmed the news while noting that the crypto custodian is “operating in an unsafe and unsound manner.”
“The petition asks the court to appoint a receiver to take over the day-to-day operations of the company and thoroughly examine all its finances to determine the best option to protect Prime’s clients, either by rehabilitating and returning the company to private management or by liquidating the company,” read the release.
O regulador de Nevada observou que a Prime Trust deve a seus clientes cerca de $85 milhões, mas tem apenas $2,9 milhões.
Conforme relatado anteriormente pela Bitnation, o popular custodiante de cripto BitGo declarou que adquiriria o Prime Trust e revelou que havia assinou um termo de compromisso with the parent company of the crypto infrastructure provider. However, the acquisition was terminated due to rumors of the firm’s bankruptcy.
O CEO da BitGo, Mike Belshe, confirmou que sua empresa tinha outras aquisições pendentes que seriam anunciadas nos próximos seis meses em entrevista ao CoinDesk.
