Cryptocurrency exchange BitMart said Sunday it will wind down its trading platform, ending nine years of operation and sending its exchange token down almost 60% after the announcement.

It is the second crypto exchange to announce a closure in the same week, with perpetuals trading powerhouse BitMEX saying Thursday it would shut down after 11 years, as CoinDesk reported.

All trading, spot and derivatives, ends on Aug. 26, and the platform formally ceases operations on Jan. 31, 2027. Withdrawals stay open throughout, though BitMart urged users to complete identity checks, close positions and submit withdrawal requests before the August cutoff.

Crypto bill collapses on Senate floor​

The Senate on Tuesday rejected a sweeping cryptocurrency bill amid opposition from Democrats and a handful of Republicans, punctuating a remarkable collapse for the measure following months of acrimonious bipartisan negotiations.

Senators voted 49-50 to reject the so-called Clarity Act, delivering a stinging defeat to the crypto industry.
