Borza je sporočila, da se bo trgovanje nadaljevalo do 14. aprila.
Bittrex je lani z ameriškimi oblastmi poravnal prisilne postopke za 29 milijonov dolarjev.

Bittrex, a cryptocurrency exchange based in the United States, announced it will be closing its doors. The exchange stated in a statement on Friday that customers’ monies were secure and that they may withdraw them until April 30. It also stated that trading will continue until the 14th of April.

Obvestilo je tudi potrdilo, da bo podjetje ohranilo svojo mednarodno trgovalno platformo Bittrex Global. Richie Lai, soustanovitelj in izvršni direktor Bittrexa, je na Twitterju objavil zaprtje borze, pri čemer je kot razlog navedel "trenutno regulativno in gospodarsko okolje v ZDA".

Lai je izjavil:

"Regulativne zahteve so pogosto nejasne in se uveljavljajo brez ustrezne razprave ali prispevka, kar povzroča neenakomerno konkurenčno okolje."

Najhujše zatiranje kripto sektorja

Bittrex je podjetje s sedežem v Seattlu, ki je bilo ustanovljeno leta 2013. Po podatkih CoinGecko ima 24-urni obseg trgovanja le 11.7 milijona dolarjev, zaradi česar je 71. največja borza digitalnih sredstev. To je nižje od Uniswap, Pankcakeswap in celo Orca, treh decentraliziranih alternativ.

The news from Bittrex coincides with what may be the most severe crackdown on the cryptocurrency business from U.S. officials. Many American cryptocurrency firms, notably the widely used Kraken, have been punished with penalties by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in recent months.

Coinbase, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the United States and a publicly listed company received a Wells Notice this week alleging that its staking products are unregistered securities. The warning indicates that a legal proceeding to enforce the agreement is imminent.

Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world, was sued by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) on Monday for allegedly breaking trading and derivatives laws. Bittrex settled enforcement actions with U.S. authorities last year for $29 million due to “apparent violations” of sanctions against nations including Iran, Cuba, and Syria.
