In a blog post, George Harrap, CEO, wrote that the "decision was not taken lightly" and that the platform will be closing its doors on March 4. According to the announcement, Bitspark users have from yesterday, Feb. 3 until March 4 to withdraw their assets. After that date, account logins will be disabled for a period of 90 days. The decision to halt its services comes after the release of their Cash Point product last year, which saw a 400 percent month-over-month growth following its release. However, as Harrap explains, due to internal restructuring that didn't work out and a decision taken by shareholders internally, they have decided to call it a day. Harrap also noted that while the Hong Kong protests and the coronavirus haven't affected the company much, "it hasn't helped either." -BITSPARK |  |     | | | 2. The U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has revised its registration fee structure for crypto companies. In a Handbook Notice from the regulator, it states that if income from crypto activity in the U.K. amounts to around $325,000, then organizations will be charged $2,600 in registration fees. Those who earn over $325,000 will have to pay $13,000. Prior to these new changes, all crypto businesses had to pay a flat fee of $6,500; however, after receiving feedback that stated this would be too high for some small firms to pay, it decided to revise this. -THE BLOCK | | | | | A MESSAGE FROM EQUITYMULTIPLE | | | Making Real Estate Investing Simple, Accessible & Transparent.
