Peer-to-peer cryptocurrency marketplace Paxful has removed Ether (ETH), Ethereum’s native token, from its marketplace, citing a number of concerns around the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.

Paxful CEO Ray Youssef announced the move in a message to some 11.6 million users of the platform, which he subsequently shared on his Twitter handle saying:

"We finally kicked #ethereum off our marketplace. 11.6m humans safer. Integrity over revenue

Who is next ?"

YOussef highlighted three major concerns around the Ethereum ecosystem which led to the marketplace removing ETH, citing Paxful’s intent to maintain its integrity and efforts to combat ‘economic apartheid’ around the world driven by fiat monetary systems.
