FTX Contagion Expands: Crypto Exchange Bitfront Shuts Down

The latest cryptocurrency exchange to close is Bitfront, run by Japan’s messaging app Line. Bitfront stated in a Sunday announcement that its shutdown is unrelated to recent market developments, including crashed exchanges. The Line blockchain Bitfront uses offers the crypto token Link.

“We have regrettably determined that we must shut down Bitfront in order to continue developing the Line blockchain ecosystem and Link token economy,” the notice stated. “Despite our best attempts to overcome the obstacles in this fast-changing business.”

When asked for additional comment on Tuesday, representatives for Line and Bitfront persisted. They announced a stop to new user registrations. It also disables providing crypto by December 30. Customers were also urged to withdraw their money by March 31, 2023. Bitfront stressed that the company would cease operations in the United States after that time. Its worldwide consumers would have to claim their possessions in Delaware, whereas its domestic consumers would have to do so in each of their states.
