Cryptocurrency exchange Huobi Pro is to cease offering trading services to investors living in Japan starting from next month.
According to a news report from Coinpost, the exchange announced the news in an email sent to investors in Japan on Wednesday, stating it will remove the Japanese option from its homepage and suspends trading services from July 2.
In a response to a CoinDesk enquiry, Huobi Pro – currently the third largest exchange in the world by 24-hour trading volume – confirmed the news, but has yet to provide further details such as the plan for users’ asset withdrawals.
Earlier this year, Huobi Pro indicated it was partnering SBI Virtual Currency – the licensed exchange backed by Japanese financial giant SBI Holdings – to launch a regulated platform in Japan.
According to web traffic tracking site Alexa, currently 13.3 percent of the visitors on Huobi Pro come from Japan.
