Thai crypto exchange Zipmex's scheme of arrangement, or restructuring plan, has been approved by the Singapore High Court, paving the way for customers to get their deposits back.
The court approved the creation of an "administrative convenience class" for creditors with assets in their wallets not exceeding $5,000, according to a Thursday update on Zipmex's website.

Zipmex's request for a three-week extension of creditor protection to last until April 23 was also granted.
The Thai crypto exchange froze withdrawals last year after experiencing a liquidity crisis following the collapse of Terra and its algorithmic stablecoin UST.
Zipmex is in the process of completing a $100 million venture capital buyout by fellow Thailand-based firm V Ventures. The sale appeared to hit a roadblock last week when it was reported that V Ventures missed a $1.25 million payment, which could have resulted in Zipmex having to liquidate its technology unit unless rectified.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
