Events In The Lifetime Of Bitfront
Founded in February 2020, its aim was to store digital assets safely and enable free transactions. In less than 3 years, Bitfront’s performance has been dropping drastically.
The entire crypto market has faced a very tough year with the collapse of major cryptocurrencies. It started with the failure of the Terra sisters in the month of May. The collapse of Terra drained a lot of wealth from the market, forcing many firms to file for bankruptcy. After this, came the crumble of Three Capital Arrows. Lately to shake the cryptoverse is Sam Bankman-Fried’s multi-million dollar FTX. It filed for bankruptcy in the United States on 11 November 2022.
The Suspension Of Services
Bitfront has already suspended credit card services and new sign-ups from November 28. It will be further suspending additional payments and deposits by December 12. While interest for deposits will be paid from 5 to 11 December. Also, the additional forced withdrawal of interests and deposits of LN/LN products will be done by December 13. The ability to make withdrawals will be put to a stop on 31 March 2023.
Bitfront expressed gratitude and issued an apology to customers who used their services and had a voice in developing the platform.
