The Thai crypto exchange said in a tweet announcement that withdrawals will be paused indefinitely "until further notice."

"Due to a combination of circumstances beyond our control including volatile market conditions, and the resulting financial difficulties of our key business partners, to maintain the integrity of our platform, we would be pausing withdrawals until further notice."

In a letter to customers, the exchange said that a "series of black swan events" resulted in financial difficulties of its partners, without naming them. The move comes Celsius Network and Voyager Digital made the same steps before filing for bankruptcy.
