Bithumb Goes Global
After a slew of negative news from the crypto space, one piece of good news to be announced during the week was from Bithumb, which launched Bithumb Global, a digital asset trading exchange that is now in the open beta version.
It is now available in 15 jurisdictions including the UK, Canada, Australia, and Japan. The platform integrates multiple fiat currency trading pairs and also offers perpetual futures trading.
QuadrigaCX & Parent Companies Owe $359 Million
Ernst & Young, the court-appointed third-party auditor of QuadrigaCX, discovered a “material discrepancy” between Quadriga’s reported fiat and cryptocurrency holdings. Australian news source Miky reports that Ernst & Young have found out that the exchange has $21 million in assets while owing creditors $160 million
In other words, the exchange appears to have been in financial trouble even before its Chief Executive Officer passed away, taking access to clients’ funds with him to the grave.
BitLeague Launches Bitcoin Term Deposit
BitLeague announced this week that it has launched a Bitcoin term deposit product. The motivation of the product launch is to bring mainstream-like services in the crypto economy.
As announced at Consensus 2019, the term deposit will offer 9 percent annual interest with a lock-in period of 3 to 36 months.
