Crypto exchange CoinFlex is \u201cunlikely\u201d to resume withdrawals on Thursday, June 30 as it had originally hoped, according to its CEO Mark Lamb, as the company continues to search for buyers of its $47 million bad debt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Speaking to CNBC on Wednesday, Lamb said more time was needed before it could reopen the platform for withdrawals, stating: <\/p>\n
\u201cWe will need more time. And it\u2019s unlikely that withdrawals will be re-enabled tomorrow.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The crypto exchange had been banking on a $47 million token offering launched on Tuesday, June 28 which is known as Recovery Value USD (rvUSD). The token offering was created in an attempt to sell off its bad debt after one of its accounts went into negative equity. <\/p>\n
In a statement on Tuesday, the company said it hoped withdrawals could restart as previously planned for Thursday, June 30, but admitted it would be subject to the token issuance being fully subscribed. <\/p>\n
The company has not given any updates as to how many tokens have been subscribed to date, but Lamb noted on Wednesday that CoinFlex is in talks with several large funds to buy up the $47 million debt.<\/p>\n
In a separate interview to MarketWatch, Lamb said it has been making \u201csignificant progress\u201d on its token sale amongst distressed debt funds, existing customers and investors, adding that tens of millions of dollars in \u201csoft commitments\u201d have emerged. <\/p>\n
The crypto investment platform halted user withdrawals on Thursday, June 23 citing \u201cextreme market conditions\u201d and \u201cuncertainty around a certain counterparty,\u201d which was later revealed to be the result of a long-time customer of CoinFlex\u2019s account that went into negative equity. <\/p>\n
Days later, CoinFlex CEO Mark Lamb publicly pointed the finger at \u201cBitcoin Jesus\u201d Roger Ver on Twitter, claiming that Ver owes the company $47 million USDC after allowing his account to go into negative equity. <\/p>\n

Lamb continued their Twitter spat stating the \u201cdebt is 100% related to his account,\u201d adding that his company \u201ccategorically denies that we have any debts owing to him.\u201d<\/p>\n
CoinFlex\u2019s recent woes are just another example of a growing number of crypto investment firms and trading platforms facing liquidity issues amid an ongoing crypto bear market. <\/p>\n
Crypto lending platform Celsius Network is staring down possible bankruptcy, whilst crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital has just been served a notice of default by Voyager Digital. It has also reportedly been ordered to liquidate by a court in the British Virgin Islands.<\/p>\n
