Paxful Marketplace возобновляет работу спустя почти месяц
- Paxful объявила о перезапуске P2P-рынка после более чем 30-дневного бездействия и постепенном восстановлении его функций.
- В течение последних 30 дней кошелек Paxful продолжал работать, и все средства, принадлежащие пользователям, были доступны без каких-либо проблем.
- В апреле стало известно, что рынок P2P будет закрыт из-за ухода ключевых сотрудников, неопределенности в отношении регулирования и т. д.
- 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.
Согласно сообщение на официальном сайте Paxful команда разработчиков запустила торговую площадку после более чем 30-дневного бездействия. Многие члены криптосообщества на протяжении многих лет использовали платформу для покупки и продажи криптоактивов, и платформа также предназначена для трейдеров регулирующих органов.
“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.
Непонятно, как P2P-маркетплейс собирается двигаться вперед, но за последние 30 дней кошелек Paxful продолжал работать, и все средства, принадлежащие пользователям, были доступны без каких-либо хлопот. Многие клиенты заявили, что их учетные записи были заблокированы после недавней приостановки обслуживания. Неясно, разобрался ли рынок с этим.
Недавно генеральный директор Paxful Рэй Юссеф сообщил, что 88% замороженных средств 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 люди не были счастливы с закрытием рынка.
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.
