Bitfinex will be terminating “trading, deposits and withdrawal functionality for all U.S. customers”, which will come into effect “no later than November 9, 2017.” The announcement urges all U.S.-based customers to withdraw their cryptocurrency tokens before the deadline.

With the SEC starting to crack down on ICOs deemed as securities that would be subject to existing financial regulations, do you see other exchanges following suit and exiting the U.S. Market?



I think that the tokens that are SEC compliant should not have a problem being traded on US exchanges for US citizens either.
Bittrex has not released/announced any such news yet and hopefully that will not be the case.
