ETH/USD is changing hands at $428 and moving quickly to critical $400. Ripple, the third largest coin with the market cap of $17.4B, is trading at $0.4420, down 4% on daily a basis.

Chinese-based cryptocurrency exchange and blockchain asset solutions provider Huobi has entered the US market via its strategic partner HBUS. US residents have access to its virtual currency trading platform starting from July 10th at 10:00 AM (PT). They have access to 22 different virtual currencies and the full scope of the platform's functionality.
However, HBUS does not currently serve residents in Alabama, Connecticut, Georgia, Louisiana, New York, North Carolina, Hawaii, Vermont, and Washington, according to the press release.
The virtual currency trading platform operates online under FinCEN license as a money services business and represents a separate legal entity from Huobi Group, with its own ownership and leadership.
