What is happening with Hodlnaut?

For years, Hodlnaut had been offering people investment options in institutions that were authorized to carry out investment activities. The firm helped people acquire cryptocurrency-based loans and it was confirmed that the loans would bear interest.

Ever since the month of May when the TerraUSD ended up getting de-pegged, the firm has found itself facing the worst financial condition.

The financial crisis has led to a point where Hodlnaut recently had to announce that it had halted withdrawal services as it faced a financial crisis.

Initially, the firm had announced that it had halted the withdrawal option due to a financial crisis. But the firm announced on Friday that it had laid off the majority of its employees and sought judicial management as well.
