South Korean crypto yield Haru Invest shuttered its office on the 13, suspending the deposit and withdrawal of Haru, a crypto management service. After that, the cause for the suspension of deposits and withdrawals was stated, namely that there was an issue after leaving the deposits received from clients to B&S Holdings, an external management company.

Delio, a crypto-finance company, has also been involved in Haru’s problems. After temporarily freezing client deposits and withdrawals, Haru Invest and Delio investors are considering class-action lawsuits. Both platforms include “deposit” services, which allow consumers to receive interest on their virtual assets if they deposit a certain amount for a given period of time. Haru Invest and Delio have offered maximum annual interest rates of 12% and 10%, respectively.
