ZipUp is a savings program provided by Zipmex that <a href=\"https:\/\/zipmex.com\/learn\/what-is-zipup\/\">promised<\/a> returns of up to 10% per year.<\/p>\n<p>The regulator also asked for details regarding Zipmex's exposure to Celsius Network and Babel Finance.<\/p>\n<p>Celsius <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/celsius-officially-declares-bankruptcy-after-paying-down-defi-loans\/\">declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy<\/a> on July 14, a month after it halted withdrawals and transfers. <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/babel-finance-suspends-withdrawals-due-to-unusual-liquidity-pressures\/\">Babel Finance halted withdrawals<\/a> on June 17 and later announced that it had reached an agreement with counterparties on the repayment period of its debts, which helped ease its liquidity crunch.<\/p>\n<p>In Thailand, the SEC is the crypto market watchdog that offers licenses to exchanges and approves token listings. Earlier this year, the regulator banned the use of digital assets for payments against goods or services.<\/p>\n<h2>To resume or not to resume withdrawals<\/h2>\n<p>Meanwhile, Zipmex tweeted that it is resuming withdrawals and deposits for Trade Wallets from 6 pm Thailand time on July 21.
