Nexo Liquidation Outrage | Users Demand Answers Over $123K Loss
A growing coalition of investors is rallying against Nexo's liquidation of a user’s entire $123,000 portfolio amid an app outage on October 10, 2025. The Platinum status member reports being locked out of their account when their collateral was wiped clean, igniting widespread frustration within the community.
Disturbing Details of the Event

In April 2025, the platform faced accusations of unjust liquidations totaling $10 million, raising suspicions regarding their regulatory compliance, particularly given their registration in the Cayman Islands and evasiveness toward EU and U.S. court directives.

"I was literally stuck watching the app glitch out," stated the affected user.
