Due to continued regulatory uncertainty, we have made the difficult
decision to close our U.S. operations, effective April 30, 2023. All
U.S. customer funds are safe and can be fully withdrawn immediately.
This announcement does not impact non-U.S. customers using Bittrex
Global. For more information, click here.

Important Message For Bittrex U.S. Customers

Important Message For Bittrex U.S. Customers

Today is a bittersweet day. This month we turned nine years old; and
while I am excited and proud that we've come this far, I am also very
sad. Today, Bittrex is beginning the process of winding down its U.S.
operations. Don't worry - all customer funds are safe and available
to withdraw; however, it's just not economically viable for us to
continue to operate in the current U.S. regulatory and economic
environment.  

Back in 2013, when the three of us built Bittrex, it was about
technology. Taking nascent crypto technology and making it better
with our vast experience of enterprise software and security
knowledge. We built technology that was ahead of everyone at the
time. Full-service API. Near instant atomic transactions. Wallet
infrastructure, handling more wallets than anyone. Offline cold
wallet solutions. We've never lost funds or been hacked. It was
technology, simple and elegant. We said we would be the most secure
and fairest trading platform out there while treating our customers
fairly. No hidden deals. No special treatment. We never took
shortcuts. 

Nine years later, the crypto ecosystem is very different. Regulatory
requirements are often unclear and enforced without appropriate
discussion or input, resulting in an uneven competitive landscape. 

In the end, we made great strides toward accomplishing our goal of
maturing the crypto space. However, operating in the U.S. is no
longer feasible and Bill, Rami and I will focus on helping Bittrex
Global succeed outside the U.S.  

As I mentioned above, all customer funds are safe, here and ready for
your retrieval (for users with KYC requirements met). We will permit
trading until April 14, 2023, and you should withdraw all your funds
by April 30, 2023. A timeline of important dates as well as an FAQ
are located here to provide further information. 

I've truly enjoyed being a part of this revolution and will continue
to be involved in this space. Thanks to all the Bittrex users over
the years that made us who we are.

See ya around the blockchain, 

Richie
