I am just curious. Is there any reason as to why this exchange is not allowing US residents to trade with their website anymore? Anything happened that I am not aware of? I am not a US citizen but I think they should be allowed like everyone else.

Ok I'll look into that, thanks.

If anyone else knows how to buy IOTA, please let me know.

Binance also trades in IOTA and don't have restrictions whether you come from the United States or from Poland. I haven't personally used this exchange but I heard good stories about them. One nice aspect of this exchange is that it's decentralized, just like Bitcoin and IOTA. I don't know any other exchanges that accept IOTA besides this one. I've looked on coin conversion websites like shapeshift but I couldn't find one that supports IOTA.

Not sure?

Here is the email I just got from them after signing up:

 US Residents
This email is to confirm that you have indicated you are a US Resident. Please be advised that Bitfinex is terminating its relationship with US Individual customers (non-corporate accounts with a primary residence in the United States).

US Individual customers must cease trading and funding activity, close any open trading positions, return any reserved funding you may have, and withdrawal all of your balances from the platform as expeditiously as possible.

So I signed up on bitfinex so I coulyd buy IOTA, it seems its the only exchange that IOTA is currently listed on.

But when I verified my account I got the following message from bitfinex saying that they are no longer doing business with any US customers and I can't use their exchange.

So where else can I purchase IOTA from?  That's all I'm concerned about.

Thanks.

is bitfinex not a us-based exchange?
