Funds that remain available to customers
Like many centralized platforms, Nuri was based on a model offering digital asset custody, trading services, as well as returns on certain cryptocurrencies. Competition being tough in this sector, it is far from the only crypto platform to suffer the consequences of the bear marketbut the bankrupt crypto-bank still stands out for managing the funds of these customers.
In effect, many platforms have frozen the withdrawals of their users. The most eloquent example is the Celsius Network fiasco, of which a lot of sensitive information was recently leaked.
On his side, Nuri therefore leaves its platform open to its customers until the closing date, thus giving them the opportunity to turn around without blocking their cryptocurrencies.
While several players are struggling, bigger companies like FTX or Binance take advantage of the crisis to develop more than ever. And for good reason, Changpeng Zhao, for example, recently announced that his exchange was ready to spend up to a billion dollars on acquisitions by the end of the year.

I timidly discovered the world of blockchain at the end of 2018 during my quest for financial freedom. Initially invested moderately, it was only two years later that I took the gamble of betting everything on the movement that was taking shape then. I then dedicate 2021 to training myself better to acquire more knowledge and seriousness. As I often like to say: I still have a billion things to learn. And what I do know, I want to share with you.
