The exchange has announced that it is going to fully end its services in Singapore in the year 2022. The exchange has announced that it is planning to do it by the end of the first quarter of 2022.

The exchange has instructed all the users to ensure they fully close their active positions. In addition to that, the exchange has also instructed all the users/clients to ensure they withdraw their digital assets and funds.
According to the exchange, the users/clients are to ensure they do it by March 31, 2022. The exchange has also revealed that it will start closing out its services for users from Singapore. The exchange will start doing it gradually so it is not done all of a sudden.
The users from Singapore will have their access to different services on the exchange halted and then revoked gradually.
The exchange officials have announced that they had to do it because they want to operate in the most regulated way and environment possible. The local financial authorities have imposed limitations and restrictions on the cryptocurrency firms in the country.
