Crypto lender Abra has been insolvent since March, says Texas regulator

Abra Insolvent Since March

Abra, a cryptocurrency wallet and exchange, has been insolvent since March of 2020, according to the Texas State Securities Board. The board issued an emergency cease and desist order against Abra on March 26, 2020, alleging that the company had been operating an unregistered cryptocurrency exchange and had been offering unregistered securities.

The cease and desist order also alleged that Abra had misled investors about the security of their funds. The board stated that Abra had failed to maintain sufficient funds to cover customer deposits, leading to the company becoming insolvent.

The Texas State Securities Board has ordered Abra to stop all operations and to return all customer funds. Abra has yet to comply with the order and the company remains insolvent.
