Brazilian crypto exchange XDEX announced the end of its activities

The exchanges stated:

“Today, we announce that XDEX is starting the process of closing its activities. The market projection, competition, and the few regulatory advances reduced the opportunities found at the beginning of the project and were the basis for this difficult decision made by the company.”

The exchange is owned by Grupo XP, Latin America’s largest stock brokerage.

The announcement added:

“Ensuring safety and solidity always present, we will comply with all contractual obligations, following the terms stipulated in the XDEX Terms and Conditions of Use and Services.”

The announcement detailed that the users will receive 30 days to withdraw their funds from the crypto trading platform.

The exchange added:

“Clients must close their positions in cryptocurrencies and withdraw their balance in reais within the next 30 days from the announcement of this release. When making the withdrawal request, the funds will be sent to the bank account registered with XDEX within one business day, according to bank records.”

If any customer of the exchange failed to withdraw their holdings within the specified period, the exchange will automatically sell their holdings and deposit the fiat on their registered bank accounts.

Tumbling crypto markets

The exchange’s services came to an end after only 17 months of its establishment.

The exchange stated:

“Entrepreneurship is and has always been a great challenge, especially within an unregulated market. But to undertake is also to know the time to stop.”

In February, another two Brazilian exchanges – Latoex and Acesso – ceased their operations following a hefty fine imposed by the tax authorities. Both the exchanges were also experiencing dwindling trading volumes.
