Established in 2013 as the first cloud mining provider, CEX.IO has become a multi-functional cryptocurrency exchange. Trusted by over 300,000 users, now, this Bitcoin exchange is expanding as it has now decided to cater customers in the US. In an announcement it says it is going to operate in 23 states and help people deposit and withdraw fiat currency.

Nonetheless, the US launch has come amid a continued pivot away from mining services. Also, as the company halted its cloud mining operations in January citing Bitcoin’s declining price as a motivating factor, the decision has surprised some market observers. However, Danova noted that the mining cease was a temporary measure.
She says the company looked to focus on developing its exchange. Also, according to her the company has been developing in this direction for a long time. She is of the view that CEX.IO has always been a Bitcoin exchange. Even though the key advantage was cloud mining, the exchange offered trading of the cloud mining power for Bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies.

As the company follows the Know-your-customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) standards, the customers are asked to follow the guidelines well.
