Bitrex Global announces end of operations
Bittrex’s situation worsened following the closure of operations in the US, which began in April this year due to regulatory challenges, followed by a bankruptcy filing in May.
Although Bittrex Global did not explain all the issues that led to this decision, factors such as a $276 million fine in the US and the significant reduction in trading volumes may have influenced the measure.
Currently, Bittrex Global records a daily trading volume of just $5.1 million, a sharp decline from the $141 million recorded two years ago.
The decision marks a turning point in the cryptocurrency industry and reflects not only the regulatory challenges faced by companies in the sector, but also the market volatility impacting global cryptocurrency activities.
