Crypto Trading Platform BitMEX Under Instigation by CFTC\u00a0 Earlier today, news broke that BitMEX is currently being investigated by the United States Commodity and Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) for allowing Americans to utilize the platform without having the proper licensing and registrations. The news, which was first reported by Bloomberg, came closely on the heels of comments from top officials within the US government, who offered a less-than-positive perspective on the crypto markets, deeming them as markets rife with crime and fraudulent activity. HDR Trading Limited, BitMEX\u2019s parent company, declined the opportunity to comment on the investigation, but BitMEX CEO, Arthur Hayes, has previously stated that the company does ban users from the US who attempt to undermine the company policy \u2013 which technically does not allow US residents to access the platform. It remains unclear as to where this investigation could lead, or as to what the consequences could be.

Probe comes as regulators ramp up scrutiny of crypto sectorhttps:\/\/t.co\/X0JDU5Ge46 &mdash; Nouriel Roubini (@Nouriel) July 19, 2019 US Government About to Crackdown on the Nascent Markets The CFTC\u2019s probe of BitMEX comes just one day after US Treasury Secretary, Steven Mnuchin, told CNBC in an interview that the government would begin policing crypto with \u201cvery, very strong&#8221; regulations. Mnuchin further added that the goal of these regulations would be to ensure that Bitcoin and other cryptos don\u2019t become the equivalent of \u201cSwiss-numbered bank accounts.\u201d Because it is not possible to actually regulate decentralized cryptocurrencies themselves, it is highly probable that the first target of regulators will be crypto exchanges, as many of them have been operating in the shadows beneath the nose of regulators. In other countries that have more progressive regulations, like Korea, federal regulators first started targeted crypto exchanges, forcing them to adhere to the strict rules that govern the banking industry. Although it still remains clear as to when and how the US will go about slapping the \u201cvery strong\u201d regulations on the markets, it is likely that more exchanges will begin facing increased scrutiny from groups like the CFTC in the near-future.
