Could This be Related to the Crypto Crash?

Since the beginning of the current “crypto winter,” several crypto firms, especially crypto lenders, have been falling apart. Along the line, many investors like Sam Bankman-Fried have been taking advantage of the event by acquiring sinking crypto firms.

Huobi exchange has been troubled since the banning of crypto in China last year as the country is one of its largest markets and a source of a significant part of its revenue, following the ban, it was forced to retreat from China, affecting the exchange’s income significantly.

Also, the crypto meltdown has also affected many crypto firms of which in the process, Huobi may not be left out of this situation.

Currently, it is still unclear whether the takeover will include Huobi Global Technology Holdings Ltd which is licensed in Hong Kong, an affiliate that manages virtual assets for professional investors and is licensed by Hong Kong’s securities regulator.
