  • Lamb said the counterparty is not Three Arrows Capital or “any lending firm.”

  • CoinFLEX expects to resume withdrawals “in a better position as soon as possible.”

  • Additionally, FLEX Coin trading is being halted for perpetual swaps and spot trading in the short term.

  • CoinFLEX was spun off from Coinfloor Group in 2019.
