Romania's first order-book exchange is closing down.
Statements on the BTCXchange website informed users of a possible sale of the service on 18th August, and on 4th September, users were asked to withdraw funds ahead of an expected 12th September shut down.
According to Romanian news source Bihon, it remains unclear whether the exchange, the first of its kind in Romania, is still for sale. Owners originally said they would accept offers on the platform through 16th September.
In past statements, owner Horea Vuscan expressed his hope the exchange would be acquired as he said it was "highly profitable", though he expressed reservations about continuing in the face of the Bitfinex hack and continued worries about the security of bitcoin exchanges.
