The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced today that they have ordered and settled a complaint against BFXNA Inc. d/b/a Bitfinex (Bitfinex) for:
...offering illegal off-exchange financed retail commodity transactions in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, and for failing to register as a Futures Commission Merchant (FCM) as required by the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA).
Residents of United States outside of New York are still able to trade on Bitfinex and it's not clear what steps were taken to become compliant with the Commodity Exchange Act.
For now their products: including swaps (margin funding) and margin trading work fine.
