JPEX claims that Hong Kong authorities have treated the company unfairly.

JPEX stated its displeasure with the treatment it received from pertinent Hong Kong institutions in a blog post and blamed its third-party market makers’ freezing of money on these perceived injustices. These market makers restricted liquidity and sharply increased daily operating expenses by requesting extra information from the exchange for negotiating reasons, creating operational difficulties.

Due to these liquidity concerns, JPEX decided to halt all transactions on its Earn Trading interface starting on Monday. The exchange promised to handle active orders and modify withdrawal costs at the same time. JPEX also disclosed that it is thinking about reforming to become a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO).
