Bittrex was forced to refuse to serve residents of the jurisdiction after it was not able to obtain the so-called BitLicense at the beginning of the year - a NYDFS license for cryptocurrency companies.
Initially, the regulator ordered the exchange to stop all operations in the state by June 9. Later, the agency asked Bittrex to extend the withdrawal period for New Yorkers until October 24.
The exchange reminded state customers that they can only withdraw funds, deposits and other operations are still closed for them.
