[Rick Nolan]

ViaBTC, Chinese bitcoin mining pool, has announced on Monday that it will close its marketplace for mining contracts this week, asking all users to finish cloud mining contract trading ASAP.

According to the ViaBTC statement, it would shut down the market — through which users can purchase contracts entitling them to a certain amount of hashing power at UTC time 12:00 January 10th in order to control speculation and protect the interests of investors.
