Prime Trust halts withdrawals as acquisition falls through

The planned acquisition by BitGo of the Prime Trust crypto custodian fell through on June 22, as BitGo announced that they had "made the hard decision to terminate its acquisition" after "considerable effort and work to find a path forward". BitGo had announced its intention to acquire Prime Trust on June 8.

Shortly after BitGo's announcement, Prime Trust client Stably announced that they had received a letter from Prime Trust announcing that deposits and withdrawals would be halted. Prime Trust stated that the halt was by order of the Nevada Financial Institution Division, which had been issued the previous day.
