Promote with Leviathan NewsA forensic audit found over $7 million in customer assets moved to wallets outside Orionx's control, prompting the exchange to suspend withdrawals and begin a permanent shutdown. The company filed criminal complaints against co-founders Roberto Zibert and Joaquín Díaz over alleged transfers of BTC, ETH, XRP and POL between 2018 and 2021; both deny wrongdoing. Chile's financial regulator rejected Orionx's registration application in June 2026. Tether exclusively led the exchange's Series A round in June 2025, though the original announcement is no longer available on Tether's website.
