Another exchange bites the dust. AscendEX @AscendEX_ announced it will cease operations on July 1. Official statement: 'Non-compliance with MiCA + financial and operational pressures.' Reality: Hot wallet liquidity issues, withdrawals switched to manual review, high chance users won’t get their full funds back. My advice: Move your deposits from small platforms to reliable big ones. With the current state of crypto, the top players will only get stronger. Protect your funds, stay away from small exchanges.
