However, Mercado Bitcoin affirms it is not offering irregular services. In a statement, the company explained:

Við framkvæmum ekki almennt útboð á verðbréfum utan gildissviðs þeirra heimilda sem við höfum sem viðurkenndur hópfjármögnunar- og fjárfestingarstjóravettvangur.

Á sama hátt skýrði fyrirtækið frá því að þeir gæta fyllstu varúðar við að brjóta ekki verksvið viðurkenndra aðila og að fyrirtækið hafi haft samráð um uppbyggingu þessara tákna áður en vörurnar voru teknar út árið 2020.

Þetta er bara nýjasta vandamálið sem kauphöllin hefur staðið frammi fyrir á þessu ári, þar sem fyrirtækið framkvæmir tvær mismunandi uppsagnarlotur, fyrsta í júní og síðasta one executed earlier this month. In 2021 Mercado Bitcoin vakti 200 milljónir Bandaríkjadala í B-fjármögnunarlotu sinni, studd af Softbank, sem hefur náð verðmati upp á meira en 2 milljarða dala.
