The Chinese crackdown on mining activities has prompted a lot of decisions and actions. Many miners are already heading to the United States, the new mining center, to continue their operations. Recently, the NDRC (National Development & Reform Commission) in China seized more than 10,000 mining rigs in Inner Mongolia.

The report even revealed that the operation was the 45^e time that the watchdog has done this. Given the losses suffered by miners as a result of these incidents, many forward-thinking companies are protecting their interests.

One of those companies taking proactive steps is Huobi Global, a crypto exchange with millions of users, including Chinese citizens. The first step the company took was to restrict Chinese citizens on its platform.

Huobi Global occupies the eighth position among the largest Bitcoin pools. However, now that they have restricted Chinese citizens, minors must movement their funds worth $ 4.21 billion to meet withdrawal needs.
