The court has also ordered Bitstamp, crypto.com, and Kraken to identify account owners linked to the collapsed crypto trader and hand over customer information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Globix in Gibraltar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Miracle World was a crypto exchange operating as \u201cGlobix\u201d or \u201cGlobix Cash\u201d, with investors in Gibraltar and the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The crypto trader was trying to carve a niche in crypto investing by letting customers choose automated trading strategies and pick attractively valued tokens. This plan was interrupted as a crisis of confidence gripped the crypto market, causing several major crypto tokens including Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) to lose a chunk of their value. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several once-prominent firms in the crypto landscape also filed for bankruptcy due to the ripple effects of this market shakedown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the crypto market crisis in 2022, Globix closed its doors to investors in June last year. Daniel Carreras, the sole shareholder, and director, also a Gilbraltarian citizen, voluntarily put Globix into liquidation last month after a prolonged period of struggling to pay investors. He said the company suffered digital theft and plans to recover the funds by working with the necessary authorities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is believed that this is the first time an injunction in relation to crypto assets has been made in Gibraltar. While the country has previously developed plans of becoming a global crypto hub, the failure of several major crypto firms in Singapore and FTX in the Bahamas has pushed financial centers to reassess regulatory policies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Globix was not licensed by the local regulators but its current situation has seemingly called into question whether the architects of Gibraltar\u2019s crypto ambitions can adequately identify risks to consumers.
