BlockFi, a crypto lender once valued at $3 billion, has announced it will shut down its web platform this month and has partnered with Coinbase to facilitate the withdrawal of funds for its clients. This decision follows BlockFi's bankruptcy and the need to distribute funds recovered from the bankrupt FTX. Coinbase will serve as the distribution partner for eligible BlockFi Interest Account (BIA), Retail Loan, and Private clients. The deadline for clients to withdraw their digital assets was set for April 28, 2024, at 23:59 UTC.
