Crypto Exchange Bittrex to Wind Down Operations in the US

Crypto exchange Bittrex recently announced plans to wind down operations in the United States. In a post on their official website, the exchange shared that all customer funds are safe but advised U.S. customers to withdraw their funds by April 30, 2023.

The announcement comes as a response to the company’s decision to end certain services within the United States, including the launch of new token and staking products, and will be done in alignment with U.S. regulations and policies.

In their announcement, Bittrex stated, “We remain committed to our international customers, who will continue to enjoy the same wide array of tokens and services that made Bittrex a leader in the blockchain revolution. But in order to comply with U.S. regulations, we are taking steps to end our support for customers within the United States.

To ensure a straightforward transition, Bittrex has set April 30, 2023 as a deadline for American customers to withdraw their funds. After that date, the exchange will no longer be accessible to U.S. customers.

The decision by Bittrex to end services in the U.S. has been received mixed reactions by the crypto community. However, the exchange has insisted in their statement that all customer funds are safe and that they remain committed to providing top-quality service to international customers.

If you are a user of Bittrex, we suggest that you withdraw your funds as soon as possible to avoid any disruption in your trading activities. For more information about Bittrex’s plans to wind down operations in the United States, visit their official website.
