Huobi bans Chinese users from derivatives trading as an emergency on crypto intensifies

The most popular cryptocurrency exchange for Asian traders Huobi Global has started banning domestic users from opening positions on derivatives markets.

It looks like the exchange’s administration has implemented new restrictive measures regarding the latest announcements by Chinese officials.
