“Fiat and crypto withdrawals have been suspended on Liquid Global in compliance with the requirements of voluntary Chapter 11 proceedings in the United States,” the company tweeted. “Until further notice, we would suggest to not deposit either fiat or crypto. We will provide updates when available,” the exchange added.

“Until we are able to determine the extent of this impact with specific details that we feel confident are factually accurate, we have paused deposits and withdrawals on the Salt platform effective immediately,” the letter to Salt customers details.
