Bittrex, which earlier announced its intention to leave the US market, has also been charged by the SEC for operating as an unregistered securities exchange.

Earlier this week, the US crypto exchange Bittrex Inc. filed for bankruptcy in Delaware. The filing comes a few weeks after Bittrex Inc. and its co-founder and former CEO William Shihara were charged by the SEC over operating as an unregistered national securities exchange, broker, and clearing agency.
