Altcoin trading platform Coinexchange.io has announced that it is shutting down due to financial difficulties.
In an official announcement on Oct. 1, the platform noted that the closure was purely a business decision and is not connected to any security breach or other incident.
Coinexchange.io is currently seeing daily traded volumes of roughly $700,000, according to CoinMarketCap, and supports over 500 altcoins.
"Unfortunately it is no longer economically viable for us to continue offering market services. The costs of providing the required level of security and support now outweigh our earnings."
Trading and deposits on Coinexchange.io will be suspended on Oct. 15th. All traders are also requested to halt any activity as soon as possible.
The website and withdrawals will remain operational until Dec. 1, the deadline by which users are asked to remove all the remaining funds.
Coinexchange.io has said that it may return in the future should market conditions change.
As Cointelegraph previously reported, Coinone Global Exchange, a Malta-based platform launched by major South Korean exchange Coinone, has terminated its services in mid-September.
Thailand's leading cryptocurrency exchange Bitcoin Co. Ltd. has announced that it would not be seeking to hold a Digital Asset Exchange license from securities regulators in 2020 and would therefore halt all trading operations.
