Title: Is Hong Kong Based exchange closing down?
Post by: puremage111 on September 18, 2017, 01:21:52 PM
Bitmex and Bitfinex are owned by both HDR Global Trading Limited and iFinex Inc which is Hong Kong Based company

My question

1) Do they get affected by the china ban rules? Or they are on their own?

2) Since the china exchange/ico ban news, after china dumped, which country is the majority holder of bitcoin now?

I think bitfinex changed from Hong Kong to being registered in the British Virgin Islands, so it no longer has to abide by Chinese/Hong Kong regulations.

It's terms say it's governed by the laws of the British Virgin Islands.
