Small cap platform that promised users up to 43% in annual awards puts the brakes on withdrawals and scrubs team from site.
Freeway, a crypto staking platform, announced late Sunday that it had paused withdrawal services, citing volatility in the crypto and forex markets and sending its token into a free-fall.
The Freeway (FWT)token is downroughly 80% in the hours since the announcement.
Freeway was not a significant or well-known project, with a market cap of less than $70 million before the crash and now $10 million at current trading prices.
Freeway claimed it had $160 million in total value locked via a figure published on its website.
On-chaindata suggeststhat the majority of the largest of the 4,342 token holders received it during an airdrop and were otherwise idle.

As notedby Twitter personality FatManTerra, the administrator of the Freeway website is in the process of deleting team names from the page.
