From February 9, the platform will stop registering new users, from February 16 it will suspend trading and the ability to use wallets, except for the withdrawal of assets.
“After February 17, 2023, LocalBitcoins customers will only be able to log in to withdraw their bitcoins. From now on, trading and wallet services will no longer be available,” the service team added.
Recall that LocalBitcoins was named one of the top three sending counterparties in the Bitzlato case.
