Matrixport offers earning interest on crypto, taking out crypto loans, buying digital assets and other similar services.
Following the new crypto ban announced in China in late September, when commercial crypto transactions were announced as illegal, as well as crypto mining, more than 20 crypto-related business entities announced that they will stop working in mainland China. Among them are Binance and Huobi exchanges—the largest ones in the region.
Over the weekend, major crypto miner producer Bitmain also announced that it is going to stop selling mining machines to Chinese customers. Jihan Wu is no longer the head of Bitmain.
