Latest QuadrigaCX News

QuadrigaCX was a Canadian cryptocurrency exchange founded in 2013 by Gerald Cotten. It gained popularity for its user-friendly interface and range of supported cryptocurrencies. 

However, in 2019, the exchange faced a crisis following the sudden death of Cotten, the sole person with access to private keys securing customer funds. This made approximately 190 million Canadian dollars in cryptocurrencies inaccessible, sparking legal proceedings and investigations.
