Following recent regulatory developments in the United Kingdom regarding financial promotions, and as part of Bitfinex's commitment to working with regulatory authorities, Bitfinex has made the decision to pause verification of new individual UK customers. This restriction will take effect from today. Bitfinex encourages its customers to refer to our prior notice regarding our response to the UK's new financial promotions regime, and additional restrictions that have already been put in place. These measures will continue to remain in place at this time. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your support and cooperation while we take this step. . Risk Disclaimer. Trading in crypto assets is volatile, and markets shift quickly in terms of price, liquidity, market depth, and trading dynamics. As such, you should not do so unless you are prepared to lose all the money you put at risk. Crypto assets are often high-risk products, and you will not be protected if something goes wrong. UK customers should note the Financial Services Compensation Scheme doesn't protect this type of product, and The Financial Ombudsman Service will not be able to consider complaints related to this company. Equally, there is no guarantee that acquisitions of crypto assets can be easily sold at any given time. You should do your own research before investing.
