Bittrex is still active despite the challenges

In an important and decisive step, the digital currency trading platform “Bittrex” obtained approval from the US Bankruptcy Court to reduce its operations and liquidate its assets in the United States of America.

This decision came as a result of the difficulties the company faced due to unspecified regulations and ongoing legal issues with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The court gave the green light for Bittrex to close its doors to its customers in the United States, while continuing to provide services through its international subsidiary, Bittrex Global, which is headquartered in Liechtenstein, and which will continue to serve customers in other jurisdictions around the world.

The court's decision came based on the problems the company faced due to a legal case with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), where the authority filed a lawsuit against the company accusing it of violating securities laws.

In response to these challenges, Bittrex filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, with customers encouraged to withdraw their funds from the platform.

The company, in an attempt to resolve the case, also filed a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for $24 million in compensation for the alleged violations.

Despite the challenges that Bittrex faced in the United States, the international company, Bittrex Global, remains active and continues to provide its services to clients in other markets around the world, which demonstrates the continuity of operations on the international scene despite the challenges on the American scene.
