Polish cryptocurrency exchange Bitmarket shuts down due to liquidity problems
|- The exchange ceases to exist, little details are available so far.
- Redditt users say that the problems have started much earlier.
The second largest cryptocurrency exchange in Poland halted trading operations cited liquidity problems as the key reason behind the decision.
