Welcome to Bitfinex Announcements.

This integration will strengthen Bitfinex’s existing market monitoring tools, bolstering our ability to identify, investigate and mitigate manipulative trading behaviours on our platform, and subsequently contribute to a new global standard of digital asset market transparency.

We will be deploying a platform update today, March 21st, between 8:00am UTC and 17:00pm UTC. You should expect an interruption of approximately 2 hours where trading and financing will be unavailable.

We will provide timely progress updates here, on Twitter and http://bitfinex.statuspage.io throughout the entirety of the upgrade. We apologise for the inconvenience and look forward to presenting you with an improved trading platform.
