Bitgetx, the subsidiary of the Singapore-based cryptocurrency exchange Bitget, announced on Nov. 13 that it had dropped its pursuit of a Virtual Asset Trading Platform (VATP) license in Hong Kong. As a consequence, Bitgetx said its Hong Kong website — www.Bitgetx.hk — will cease operations and permanently exit Hong Kong on Dec. 13.
The crypto platform said users from the region should remove their assets before this date. Users who fail to do so will permanently lose access to these assets once the exchange ceases operations, Bitgetx added. Furthermore, no trading of assets will be permitted and no new users will be accepted between now and the deadline day.
“We apologize for any inconvenience and challenges this decision may cause. Our priority remains to ensure a smooth and orderly offboarding for all our users. Our customer support team is available to assist with any queries or concerns regarding the closure and the transfer of your assets. We thank you for your support and understanding during these times of change,” the crypto exchange said.
