In a letter dated September 11, one of the world’s oldest cryptocurrency exchange platforms, Bittrex, announced to its users that it is no longer able to provide services in some countries. Among them are Ukraine and Belarus. The users have 14 days to withdraw their funds.

According to the message of the company, the shutdown is due to “regulatory reasons.” It is not specified exactly what kind of reasons.
