Significantly, Sun commented that by attracting Chinese customers, the company could attain universal acceptance, reaching a worldwide establishment. He added that the company currently has a huge loss of almost $10 million a month, and was about to cut short its branches to compensate for the losses.
The people familiar with the matter, who refused to reveal their identity, reported that the advisor had been recruiting Chinese customers over the past two months.
Notably, Huobi declared that it has exited the Chinese market and barred Chinese users from signing up or logging in, adding that the Chinese Internet Protocol addresses are “strictly prohibited” from accessing the platform. Also, the company asserted that the new customers are “from anywhere but China”.
It is noteworthy that the Chinese regulators haven’t bestowed any sanctions on Chinese users to sign up for any crypto activities since the crypto ban. However, the citizens could access other crypto trading centers using virtual private networks (VPN) to conceal their nationality.
