Last week, local authorities ordered Catalyx to suspend all cryptocurrency trading to support an independent investigation into the company. CEO Jae Ho Lee immediately complied with a 15-day freeze from the Alberta Securities Commission until January 5, 2024.

During this period, global financial auditing firm Deloitte LLP will assist Catalyx in evaluating and investigating the incident.
