About

Cryptopia exchange was closed after a theft that took place in early 2019. Cryptopia was established in New Zealand in 2014. Its website had been publishing updates on the liquidation process until the mid-2019. 
LakeBTC is one of the oldest exchanges on the market. It had been found back in 2013 and it still has the Asian audience as the priority. The presence of different deposit types are making the exchange interesting for a starting traders. From another point of view the service is reported to be buggy from time to time and some complaints about the support service can be found over the internet. The company also provides the wallet alongside with the exchange, but it is a questionable decision to have both the exchange and the wallet with the same company. Unfortunately, it seems that LakeBTC has ceased its operations although there is no official statement to confirm that.
