CoinFlex commences legal action to recover $84 million a customer

Crypto exchange CoinFlex, which recently paused customer withdrawals amid liquidity stress, and revelations that crypto investor Roger Ver owed $47 million in failed repayments, has instituted legal action to recover even more from the pioneer crypto investor.

According to an update the crypto exchange published over the weekend, the same account that had the $47 million in counterparty losses, has now been readjusted. The customer now owes $84 million.

“The first estimate of $47m which we communicated did not include the significant loss in liquidating his significant FLEX coin positions. Now that we have found a bid for that size, the liquidations have created a final deficit of $84m for the account,” CoinFlex co-founders Sudhu Arumugam and Mark Lamb said in the blog post. 

Customer is “personally liable to pay”

CoinFlex said that its commencement of an adjudication process in Hong Kong is in a bid to recover the money from the “individual” – initially identified as Bitcoin Cash (BCH) promoter Roger Ver.

“We have commenced arbitration in HKIAC for the recovery of this $84m as the individual had a legal obligation under the agreement to pay and has refused to do so. His liability to pay is a personal liability which means the individual is personally liable to pay the total amount, so our lawyers are very confident that we can enforce the award against him,” the co-founders added.

The crypto exchange expects a favorable decision, though it notes the legal proceedings could take up to 12 months.

Meanwhile, the crypto platform has plans to resume customer withdrawals, with eyes on external funding via stablecoin USDC. 

The exchange is also in talks with a large US-based exchange over plans for a joint venture meant to keep CoinFlex in business.

WAXP price has popped. Is WAX a good crypto to buy?

The WAXP price has done well in the past few days as investors cheer the platform’s growth in the DeFi and gaming industry. WAX is trading at $0.11, which was the highest level since June 27th this year. It has surged by more than 46% from its lowest level in June, bringing its total market cap to over $231 million.

Why is Wax soaring?

WAX is a leading blockchain project that is in the gaming industry. The platform provides all features that developers need to build blockchain services, games, decentralized exchanges, and NFT products. As such, developers of all industries can easily build their products using its WAX Blockchain features.

According to its website, WAX has more than 13 NFT collectors in its ecosystem. These people use the WAX Cloud wallet, which makes it easier for people to buy, collect, and store products in its ecosystem. WAX is used by popular brands like Hasbro, AMC, Atari, and Mattel.

The WAXP price has risen in the past few days as investors react to the launch of the WAX DeFi platform. This is a platform that provides yields to participants that are based on real economic activity across the WAX ecosystem. 

According to its website, it has a total value locked (TVL) of over $5.8 million, which is remarkable since it is just a few weeks old. Also, the network was launched in a period when both DeFi and other blockchain projects has declined following the turmoil in other platforms like Voyager Digital and Celsius.

WAXP price prediction 

WAXP, like other cryptocurrencies, has had a tough time in the past few months as the cryptocurrencies unravel. On the daily chart, we see that the coin has crashed by more than 90% from its all-time high. The coin remains below the lower side of the descending triangle pattern that is shown in red. 

Recently, however, the coin has made some recovery. It has managed to move above the 25-day moving average and is now approaching the 50-day MA. At the same time, the coin’s Stochastic Oscillator has moved above the overbought level.

Therefore, there is a likelihood that the coin will keep rising as investors target the key resistance point at $0.15. This price is about 40% above the current level. A drop below the support at $0.08 will invalidate the bullish view.

BurgerCities price: What is BURGER and why is it soaring?

The BurgerCities price has gone parabolic in the past few days as demand for the coin jumped. BURGER rose to a high of $3.45, which was the highest level since December. It has jumped by more than 1,100% above the lowest level this year, bringing its total market cap to about $12 million. 

What is BurgerCities and why is it rising?

BurgerCities is a relatively small cryptocurrency that was created in the BNB Chain ecosystem. It is a platform that combines both the metaverse and decentralized finance (DeFi). It is a gaming platform where people compete for rewards. As such, it describes itself as a MetaFi. 

In the BurgerCities ecosystem, people can engage in casual activities like gaming and socializing with the goal of earning rewards. As a metaverse project, it has also integrated the concepts of non-fungible tokens. As such, like Axie Infinity, it is possible for one to make substantial returns by taking part in its gameplay. 

Some of the most important parts of BurgerCities are the Black Market, which integrates a cross-chain aggregator of the major DEX and CEX protocols. There is also the energy plant where users can become liquidity providers and a central bank, which is the single-coin dual-mining revenue aggregator in the network. It is also possible for one to buy virtual property in its ecosystem.

The BurgerCities price is rising as investors react to the recent integration of iZUMi into their aggregation protocol. The partnership came after BurgerCities launched its aggregation protocol. Therefore, the number of DEXs in the ecosystem are MDEX, Biswap, BakerySwap, and Babyswap among others. 

Another reason why the BURGER price is rising is that of pump and dump among market participants. In the past few weeks, we have seen the number of such schemes rise.

BurgerCities price prediction

The BURGER price has made a strong recovery in the past few days. On the daily chart, it has managed to move above the descending trendline shown in blue. It has also jumped above the 25-day and 50-day moving averages while the Stochastic Oscillator has moved above the overbought level. The same is true with other oscillators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the MACD.

Therefore, I suspect that the coin will soon have a pullback as sellers target the blue trendline. This is known as a break and retest pattern. If it happens, the next key support to watch will be at $1.5.

Pump and dump: top 3 cryptos being pumped this weekend

Prosper is a significantly tiny cryptocurrency. Data by CoinGecko shows that it has a market cap of just $1.1 million, making it the 1,820th biggest cryptocurrency in the world.

Prosper, which is backed by Clover, Ava Labs, Chainlink, and Bonded Finance, is a blockchain project in the prediction market. It is built using the BNB chain. It helps cryptocurrency traders and analysts make money by predicting the direction of an asset’s trend. 

It is like a betting platform that is backed by smart contract technology. One of its top features is that it has a prediction insurance that uses the PROS coin. Still, with no major catalyst, there is a likelihood that the price will have a pullback soon.

Quant is another cryptocurrency being pumped in the market this weekend. The coin’s price has jumped by more than 25% in th past 24 hours, bringing its total market cap to over $1.1 billion. It is the 51st biggest cryptocurrency in the world.

Quant is a blockchain project whose goal is to bring interoperable ecosystems and real-world solutions to most people. The project is mostly geared to enterprise customers like banks and insurance companies. 

These firms can use its technology to create their own payment networks, digital currencies, capital market solutions, and compliance products. For example, it is possible to build a stablecoin using this product. The price is likely rising because of the recently launched Overledger 2.10.

BurgerCities (BURGER)

BurgerCities is one of the most popular cryptocurrencies among those involved in pump and dump schemes. It is a cryptocurrency that is valued at over $150 million. It is a blockchain gaming product that helps people play multiple games in the metaverse.

The BURGER price has jumped by more than 25% on Saturday. This rally is mostly because of the recent integration with iZUMi into its protocol. This is part of the network’s growth of its DeFi protocol that includes cooperation with PancakeSwap, Biswap, and BakerySwap among others. 

In addition to BurgerCities, Quant, and Prosper, other cryptocurrencies being pumped are MFT, WING, FIDA, and Unifi.
