Last month, CoinFLEX ended all withdrawals from its system, blaming them on "extreme market conditions" and ongoing ambiguity around an unnamed counterparty. Late last month, CoinFLEX CEO Mark Lamb owed the exchange $47 million. After calculating Ver's final "substantial" losses in the exchange's native FLEX token, Lamb claimed that Ver owed more than $84 million. Ver has repeatedly refuted these assertions.
CoinFLEX CEO stated he was trying to turn a "problem into an opportunity" by releasing a new token to recover the $47 million deficiencies before concluding Ver's alleged unfulfilled margin call. In its update to users, CoinFLEX stated that it would cancel any outstanding withdrawals and return all cash to each user's account balances before lifting limitations.
Additionally, subaccounts utilized by users for trading futures and other activities will be merged into their primary accounts. The exchange stated that a portion of these accounts would experience negative equity due to the need to liquidate some open perpetual contract holdings when the FLEX/PERP price is revised. The exchange added that it was looking for a possible takeover from equity investors while working to find a solution to its problems with the prospect of facilitating future withdrawals. We can expect more information regarding its future move by the end of the following week.
