Recently, Huobi’s Thailand affiliate was closed due to its inability to solve systematic issues even after extensions from local regulators.

On August 16, 2022, Huobi announced stopping end derivatives trading due to compliance with local regulations. The news came a few months after it received its initial license to operate in New Zealand.
