Cryptocurrency platform Juno has advised its users to withdraw their assets as a precaution due to issues with its current custodian partner. The company has temporarily stopped allowing users to purchase cryptocurrencies on its platform and has converted stablecoins to USD as a result.
Juno plans to find a new custodian partner to resolve the issue. In the meantime, the company has recommended that its users withdraw their assets and store them in self-custody wallets to ensure the safety and security of their assets.
Users also have the option to sell their assets for fiat currency if they do not want to use noncustodial wallets. It’s important to note that Juno is taking these measures to protect its users’ assets and will continue to work on finding a solution to the custodian issue.

JUNO Token Price Plummets in 2022
The price of the native token of the platform – JUNO – performed quite well during the first quarter of 2022, reaching an all-time high of over $45 in March. The intensifying bear market, though, took its toll, and the asset started plummeting. It lost nearly 90% of its USD valuation in a matter of two months and continued its downtrend until the end of last year.
