Huobi Global Ordered To Stop Operations In Malaysia
The Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) has ordered Huobi Global Limited to stop operations in the country, saying that it had been operating its crypto exchange without registration. The SC took action against CEO Leon Li as well for operating illegally in Malaysia. “In addition, the SC has ordered Huobi Global Limited to […] disable its website and mobile application on several platforms such as Apple Store, Google Play and any other digital application platform,” said the press release.
Hotbit Closes Shop
Hotbit said it will cease all operations on May 22 after being active for over five years. The team believes that centralized exchanges (CEX) are becoming increasingly cumbersome, with highly complex and interconnected businesses that are difficult to comply with, whether for compliance or decentralization, and are unlikely to meet long-term trends. All users have been asked to withdraw their remaining assets before June 21.
