Crytpocurrencies have been on the rise for last few days (perhaps, as tax-based selling pressure abates) but we suspect downside risk may increase again as WSJ reports NY AG Schneiderman contacts 13 crypto-exchanges, claiming that investors dealing in the fast-growing markets often don’t have the basic facts needed to protect themselves.
The Investor Protection Bureau of the Office of the Attorney General sent letters to the following virtual currency trading platforms:
(1) Coinbase, Inc. (GDAX);
(2) Gemini Trust Company;
(3) bitFlyer USA, Inc.;
(4) iFinex Inc. (Bitfinex);
(5) Bitstamp USA Inc.;
(6) Payward, Inc. (Kraken);
(7) Bittrex, Inc.;
(8) Circle Internet Financial Limited (Poloniex LLC);
(9) Binance Limited;
(10) Elite Way Developments LLP (Tidex.com);
(11) Gate Technology Incorporated (Gate.io);
(12) itBit Trust Company; and
(13) Huobi Global Limited (Huobi.Pro).
