JPEX, a cryptocurrency exchange, has recently announced its intention to transition into a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). This move has sparked controversy and frustration among some users, who claim their assets were converted without their consent. The exchange is also facing scrutiny from authorities in Hong Kong, who have arrested multiple individuals associated with the exchange and accused it of operating an unauthorized crypto platform.The DAO Shareholder Dividend Scheme, which was introduced by JPEX, allows users to convert their frozen assets into DAO Stakeholder dividends at a 1:1 ratio. Additionally, the exchange introduced a repurchase option, allowing users to recover 30% of the conversion price after one year and 100% after two years.However, some users have expressed their discontent with the scheme, claiming their assets were converted to JPEX Coin (JPC) without their consent or prior knowledge. Additionally, some users have asserted that they were coerced into accepting the scheme, as there was no option to vote against it on JPEX’s mobile application.In response to the illicit activities within the crypto space, Hong Kong authorities have established a crypto-focused task force in collaboration with the police and securities regulator. As JPEX grapples with these legal challenges and users’ discontent regarding asset conversion, the exchange’s future remains uncertain.
