This past week there’s been many rumors that Chinese cryptocurrency trading platforms would be shutting down shortly due to regulatory concerns. Now the China-based exchange BTCC has announced it will be shutting down operations on September 30.
The exchange is the first major trading platform in the region to announce this decision. Following the exchange’s statement, the price of bitcoin has dropped significantly to a low of $3580 on Thursday morning.
