BitVC is a comprehensive digital currency investment and financial management platform, offering leverage trading and Yubibao interest-bearing savings accounts for bitcoin and litecoin.

Last March, Huobi was said to send emails requiring users to provide their personal information along with explanations of the sources of the funds to be withdrawn and their intended withdrawal destinations as a way of complying with PBOC’s strict AML and KYC policies.
