Zipmex advised that it would have to liquidate its technology unit unless it receives said payment.

The exchange was one of many to experience a liquidity crisis last summer following the collapse of Terra and its algorithmic stablecoin UST. Zipmex had issued loans to Babel Finance and Celsius Network, which were both unpaid.
