In addition to this, there were new developments regarding the case of Quadriga, a problematic Canadian crypto exchange. Well, this crypto exchange is generally known for missing approximately CA$180 million dollars in digital coins after the unexpected death of its creator Gerry Cotten, who turned out to be the only one having access to the company’s cold wallet.
