Incident Details

Claiming that they had no exposure to the various high profile collapses in the crypto industry lately, CoinLoan announced that they nevertheless would be reducing account withdrawal limits as they anticipated liquidity issues. They announced that users could only withdraw up to $5,000 a day, a change from the previous $500,000/day limit. CoinLoan tried to reassure customers that “rest assured that your assets are safe” — a statement that has also been made by various other crypto platforms recently, shortly before they announced insolvency.Apparently forgetting the industry they’re in, CoinLoan also wrote that their “strategy bars risky activities that could endanger CoinLoaners’ funds”.
