The bear market in 2018 has hit not only Hodlern, but also crypto and Blockchain - Start-ups-sensitive. Depending on the extent of their dependence on the crypto-exchanges with the decline of Bitcoin & co. forced for many aufsprießende company's strategic realignment. The Mining industry is among the industries that are considered to be particularly market - and price depends on claimant. Now to get the Mining market leader to feel Bitmain in different ways.

"The HKEX does not want to be the first exchange in the world, which [approves of such an IPO] and then to see how the company dies",

thus, the anonymous source continued.

In the first half of the year Bitmain was able to record a profit of 740 million US dollars. In addition to the sale of Mining Hardware, Bitmain also operates one of the largest Mining Pools. The falling rates have made the Bitcoin Mining become less profitable, and concern for buckling of the demand for ASIC miners. In addition, Bitmain should also hold an estimated six percent of the units of Bitcoin Cash (BCH). The course has been withdrawn by the Hash Was particularly affected.
