Singapore-based crypto exchange Zipmex said on Sunday that it was looking at possible offers by interested parties for possible restructuring and fund raising. In a Facebook post, it said that it had an exposure of $48 million to Babel Finance and $5 million to Celsius, reported Bloomberg.

Zipmex said that it will write off its $5 million exposure to Celsius but it is engaged in talks with Babel Finance to sort out the issue without any customer losses, reported Reuters.

Our conversations with various interested parties have progressed significantly. One of those parties has offered terms in an MOU which includes confidentiality obligations so as to be able to commence Due Diligence. The Company is exploring this, said Zipmex in a Facebook post on Sunday.

In other news, the US Securities and Exchange Commision (SEC) said to CNBC that it is working on getting some crypto lending companies properly registered if they operate more as investment firms.

"We have focused on this area because many of these firms...may well be investment companies taking hundreds of thousands or millions of customers' funds, pulling it together, and then re-lending it while offering pretty high returns. Sounds a little like an investment company, or a bank, you might say," SEC Chair Gary Gensler said.
