Wyre reportedly stated a withdrawal cap on its platform, claiming “the greatest interest of our community,” according to Cointelegraph.
Wyre, a cryptocurrency payment platform, revised its withdrawal guidelines and prohibited customers from withdrawing more than 90% of their funds. It took place days after two former workers, as reported by Cointelegraph, purportedly gave hints about a potential closure.
Wyre reportedly stated a withdrawal cap on its platform on January 7, 2023, claiming “the greatest interest of our community.” According to reports, the corporation began looking into strategic options after the policy change to avoid the effects of a bear market.

Yanni Giannaros, chief risk officer and compliance officer of Wyre, was given the position of interim CEO by the business based on information provided to Cointelegraph. Wyre users may see changes to daily withdrawal caps as a result of the platform’s search for alternative operating approaches.
Additionally, Cointelegraph pointed out that sources indicated that Wire’s problems contributed to the dissolution of its collaboration with the cryptocurrency wallet MetaMask. The withdrawal of Wyre from MetaMask’s mobile aggregator, which enables users to buy cryptocurrencies straight from the digital wallet, was announced on January 5, 2023. We appreciate your patience while we try to remove the addon, said MetaMask.
