Launched just yesterday, OPNX (Open Exchange) went through an absolute fiasco as the trading volume across the whole platform totaled just $13.64. On top of that, the platformโ€™s native token Flex Coin (FLEX) plunged by 13% and now trades at just $1.78, exiting the TOP 200 by global market cap, according to CoinGecko. As if that wasn’t enough, the exchange’s Twitter account was abruptly suspended.

The OPNX crypto exchange failed miserably to attract substantial attention, as the trading volume on most pairs on the platform is around $20-30 per day. Some pairs, like ETH/USDT, have no trading activity at all. Additionally, recently leaked information suggests that Su Zhu and Kyle Davies managed to fill the $25 million funding round with the help of a sovereign wealth fund of the Kingdom of Bahrain.

Meanwhile, Mark Lamb, one of the co-founders of OPNX, is publicly asking Roger โ€˜Bitcoin Jesusโ€™ Ver to return the $84 million loan allegedly given out of customer funds. In return for accepting the $84 million payment plan, Lamb offers Ver two years of free trading on OPNX.com.

The tokenized debt exchange is trying to open a niche market worth $20 billion, but veterans on Crypto Twitter are not buying it.

Furthermore, OPNX CEO Leslie Lambโ€™s introductory speech on Twitter was taken down hours after uploading. The CEO later explained to the media that there are โ€œno internal market makersโ€ for the crypto exchange to properly operate.

On the Flipside

  • The OPNX crypto exchange is set to roll out a public marketing program โ€œto spur liquidity.โ€
  • Three Arrows Capital founders Kyle Davies and Su Zhu are still on the run from authorities.
