Huobi stops Chinese from accessing derivatives trading and mining services

China is reportedly planning to ban cryptocurrency mining activities in the country. It also wants to make it tough for its citizens to trade cryptocurrencies in a bid to protect the country’s financial system.

The expected ban has already seen some crypto exchanges take action to limit the services available to Chinese traders. Cryptocurrency exchange Huobi revealed that it has temporarily ceased crypto derivatives trading for customers in some markets. According to Huobi, the move is to protect the interest of investors following recent changes in the market dynamics.

While Huobi didn’t specifically mention China, the Asian country is one of the biggest crypto markets to recently make regulatory changes regarding cryptocurrencies. According to a Huobi spokesperson, Huobi Pool, the company’s mining pool service, no longer accepts Chinese customers. Hence, they are not allowed to buy and store miners. The exchange said the move is to allow it to expand its cryptocurrency mining services overseas.

Huobi is one of the leading crypto-mining service providers in China. However, recent regulatory challenges could force it to move some of its operations abroad. Chinese blockchain journalist Colin Wu revealed that while Bitcoin miners are no longer available on Huobi, the Huobi mining pool remains unaffected.

OKEx delists OKB token for Chinese users

Crypto exchange OKEx is also making moves to limit its services to Chinese users. According to the exchange’s spokesperson, OKEx will delist its token, OKB, for Chinese users on its peer-to-peer platform. It will delist the coin today but didn’t provide a specific reason for doing so.

The moves by Huobi and OKEx come after a week of negative cryptocurrency news from China. Last week, three Chinese banking associations banned financial institutions and payment companies from offering services to crypto-related companies and individuals. This was followed by the government revealing its plans to crack down on cryptocurrency mining and trading activities in the country.

The cryptocurrency market has been in a bearish trend in recent weeks, with Bitcoin dropping to the $30,000 region last week. The market is still down, with the total market cap now standing at $1.5 trillion.

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.
