BTCC, the longest-running Chinese cryptocurrency exchange in the world recently announced on its website its plans to introduce an upgraded exchange platform in June 2018. The upgraded platform will support Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Litecoin (LTC), and USD and several other cryptocurrencies. The platform will continue to add new pairs of cryptos to meet the growing demands of users.

Within three years, it became the second largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume in the world. The platform was shut down in September 2017 when the central bank in China banned cryptocurrency trading of local exchanges with the national fiat, the Yuan. However, BTCC’s mining pool continued its operations and in January 2018 acquired a Chinese investment fund in Hong Kong.
