CBEX, which was marketed as a crypto-powered trading platform, had gained prominence in many African countries, especially Nigeria.
Many people had begun to invest in the platform that was promising returns of above 30 per cent. However, one morning, the accounts of users were wiped out.
Users were also locked out of their accounts and unable to withdraw their savings.
“The Commission hereby clarifies that neither CBEX nor its affiliates were granted registration by the Commission at any time to operate as a Digital Assets Exchange, solicit investments from the public or perform any other function within the Nigerian capital market,” Nigeria’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) noted in a statement after the incident.
