BlockFills, a crypto trading platform, will temporarily prohibit customers from depositing and withdrawing funds. It is the latest sign of trouble for the digital assets industry, which has been beset by plunging prices and unease over its future. Chicago-based BlockFills announced the decision in a statement on Wednesday, saying that it was doing so to further the protection of clients and the firm. 

A spokesperson for BlockFills declined to provide any further comment on the matter, in a note to Fortune.
