We have requested meetings with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Thailand and regulators in the countries in which we operate to introduce our investors to regulators and our recovery plan to government agencies.
The cryptocurrency exchange has signed three memorandums of understanding (MOUs) in the past month. Currently, the company is in an “advanced state” in discussions with two potential investors.
Crypto Exchange Has Not Disclosed Investor Details
Zipmex has not disclosed any information about potential investors. It mentioned that it is now in an “advanced stage” of discussions.
The round is said to have taken place in June of this year. This means that the company’s current capital inflows are actually unrelated to its current financial problems.

The investors we discussed with us fully understood our potential and shared our vision and mission to develop the digital economy in Thailand and Southeast Asia.

The representatives will serve as financial advisors to Zipmex and help the proposed program manager respond to the financial crisis with reform strategies.
These strategies should be able to restructure the current financial situation and “maximise returns for all stakeholders including our customers and supplier creditors”.
A funding round could be worth $40 million
No word on Zipmex investors. The round was reportedly worth $40 million at a valuation of $400 million. The company is said to be releasing information about the same next month.

The discussions with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Thailand come a month after the cryptocurrency exchange opened a hotline for investors. The hotline will help investors affected by the suspension of withdrawals and report their complaints about that particular issue.
