SINGAPORE: The cryptocurrency exchange Zipmex said on Friday that it has filed for bankruptcy protection in Singapore, becoming the latest victim of the global downturn in digital currencies.
Zipmex, which operates in Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia and Australia, resumed withdrawals last week, a day after suspending them on July 20, and said it was working to address its exposure of US$53 million to the failing crypto lenders Babel Finance and Celsius.
