Bittrex was a cryptocurrency exchange established in 2014 by former Microsoft cybersecurity engineers Bill Shihara, Rami Kawach, and Richie Lai. Bittrex shut down its U.S. operations on April 30, 2023, due to regulatory challenges and an uncertain legal environment in the USA. Customers were allowed to withdraw their funds until this date. Following the U.S. closure, Bittrex Global, which catered to international users, also decided to wind down its operations. Trading was halted on December 4, 2023, after which only withdrawals were permitted. This decision was influenced by the regulatory actions and the overall market conditions affecting cryptocurrency exchanges.
