The thodex platform, which had been handling daily cryptocurrency trade worth hundreds of millions of dollars, said on its website on thursday that it would be closed for four to five days due to a sale process. Dozens of people were arrested on friday and interpol issued a red notice as a turkish probe into cryptocurrency exchange thodex intensifies. The news comes following turkey's ban on the use of cryptocurrencies last week. According to the new rules that will be effective april 30, citizens can hold crypto, but can't use it to make payments for goods or services. The exchange platform has stopped working while the ceo left the country with digital assets.
