“We recommend that you withdraw all funds in your Nuri account as soon as possible,” the company said. "After closing the Nuri app, you will not lose your funds. However, you will have to contact the respective partners and go through a manual process to withdraw them."

The cryptocurrency exchange was founded in 2015 under the name Bitwala. The company has raised a total of 42.3 million euros ($43.1 million) after eight rounds of funding, but struggled to find investors after its last Series B in June, it said Reports from German tech news website t3n.

“The challenges have become insurmountable due to the difficult economic and political environment of the past few months, which has prevented us from raising new funds or finding a buyer,” said Walcker-Mayer. “In addition, the insolvency of one of our main business partners has significantly worsened the situation and left us disconcerted.”

Nuri isn't the only cryptocurrency exchange affected by the crypto bear market - many exchanges, including Coinbase, Gemini, Robinhood, Crypto.com and BlockFi, have all had to cut staff after suffering significant losses.

Walcker-Mayer concluded her statement by thanking Nuri's employees, customers and investors for their support.

"You have been through very tough times with us since the beginning of the year and have repeatedly rolled up your sleeves to face the next challenge together in a constructive and positive manner. It was an honor to work with you. Every day," said Walcker-Mayer.
