AscendEX, BitMEX, and BitMART shuts down

The three exchanges periodically closed down on users, the unexpected shutdown goes with strict regulations on crypto assets in the US and Europe. Ongoing updates on disbursing funds to users tables AcendEX a suspect of exit scam, Bitmart is sluggishly processing payouts, BitMEX signaled no signs of exit scam. If you have your funds on Bitmart, withdraw now!

There is a fundamental rule with crypto: Not your keys, not your money. I feel sorry for the people who got scammed but the harsh reality is that you gotta keep your crypto only on your own wallets.

Fairly small exchanges compared to Binance, coinbase or kraken. I personally wouldn’t use any other CEXs than the 3 biggest names for obvious reasons.

This is just the beginning, now imagine Q4, BTC going below $50K, many shady crypto exchanges and low quality altcoins will die
