Bitfinex recommends Ontario-based users to withdraw funds before March 1
The major crypto trading platform Bitfinex has announced that it is closing the accounts for Ontario-based users who have zero balances on the system.
Bitfinex restricting access for Ontario users
Bitfinex has announced that the users in Ontario will no longer be able to access many of its services from March 1. Among the 15 million residents of Ontario, which includes the country's capital city of Ottawa and Toronto, there are a ton of users who have open positions and balances on Bitfinex, but they will not be able to access any service after March 1. The exchange has advised the users to withdraw their funds before the deadline.The three key actions that Bitfinex has taken are:
- Closing the accounts of Ontario users who have zero balances
- Stopping access for the Ontario users who do not have any open positions in the peer-to-peer financing markets
- Stopping access to open margin positions or engagement in "borrowing" for the Ontario users who do not have open margin positions or "borrowing" positions in Bitfinex peer-to-peer financing markets.
The reason behind the immediate shutdown
The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) is said to be responsible for the intense crackdown on crypto exchanges in the region. These include multiple major exchange platforms like KuCoin, Polo Digital Assets, Bybit, and OKEx. Notably, in December 2021, the financial watchdog issued a notice that the world's biggest crypto exchange Binance was not authorized enough to offer derivatives and securities trading to individuals and institutions located in the region. Binance, however, declined it by saying that it was a mere miscommunication.Bitfinex is not untouched by the regulatory attack and in October faced a heavy fine of $42.5 million by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission along with its sister company Tether, for "illegal, off-exchange retail commodity transactions in digital assets with U.S persons."

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
