The Singapore-based cryptocurrency exchange Fairdesk has announced it will cease operations by the end of November 2024. The decision is driven by changes in market regulations.

Overview of Fairdesk

Fairdesk was established in 2021 with the aim of providing a secure and user-friendly platform for cryptocurrency trading. The exchange offered both futures and spot trading, catering to both novices and seasoned investors.

Announcement of Shutdown

On October 12, 2024, Fairdesk officially announced it would cease all operations by the end of November 2024. Futures and spot trading services will be closed by October 17, after which only withdrawal functions will remain active until the final shutdown.
