Cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex is putting an end to trading with US individual customers who use its peer-to-peer financing platform. All U.S. individual users must make arrangements to withdraw their Digital Tokens by November 9th. Customers in the US are already prohibited from getting finance from other Bitfinex users, and will also no longer be able to offer financing from 9 November. The move comes after a series of high-profile hacks that have affected major financial institutions including JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Bank of America (BAC) and Citigroup (C).
