On Monday, Txbit, a Netherlands-based cryptocurrency exchange, has announced its shutdown on September 14, 2023 due to escalating regulatory obstacles and commercial constraints. It will cease operations on September 14, 2023.
According to the company, the primary cause for Txbit’s shutdown is the volatility nature of the crypto industry, which is exacerbated by increasing regulatory concerns globally. The official website states that they have started their journey with a clear vision, but the current environment prevents them from continuing. This turbulence has led in soaring compliance expenses for platforms such as Txbit. Such financial strain, along with declining profit margins, has rendered their current operations unsustainable.
To guarantee a smooth transition, Txbit has scheduled an hour-long outage time on August 14 during which all active orders will be canceled. Following that, the platform will remove its trading function, allowing customers to withdraw their funds alone. The corporation emphasizes the need of withdrawing before the last deadline of 12:00 p.m. UTC on September 14, after which retrievals will be impossible.
While the judgement raised questions regarding Txbit’s native coin, the corporation has taken decisive action. In the near future, 95.65% of the non-circulated Txbit tokens will be burnt. Txbit also introduced wrapped token contracts for some coins. The company intends to work with the developers involved in these projects to facilitate a smooth transition of wrapped coins and associated contracts.
Txbit’s demise is a sobering reminder of the difficulties that cryptocurrency platforms face in a world where digital currencies are still finding their feet.
