AMA\u2019s are popular in the crypto space.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The decision to pause AMA\u2019s and Twitter spaces come as users remain in limbo. Withdrawals and transactions on the platform were halted over a week ago on June 12 after the protocol cited tumultuous market conditions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since then, all swaps, transfers between user accounts, and withdrawals have been suspended.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CelsiusNetwork?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">@CelsiusNetwork<\/a> is pausing all withdrawals, Swap, and transfers between accounts.
