	CEX.IO project development started in early 2013 and proceeded with launching the CEX.IO domain, acquiring assets of [[GHash.IO]] and, finally, registering a legal company CEX.IO LTD in November 2013. By this time, according to [[Blockchain.info]], GHash.IO has become the biggest mining pool, reaching over 42% of the overall Bitcoin mining power, which embodied the 51% attack threat. However, CEX.IO made an official statement, assuring the Bitcoin community that it would “take all necessary precautions to prevent reaching 51% of all hashing power, in order to maintain stability of the Bitcoin network.” In April 2014, CEX.IO user base exceeded 200,000 users. May 2014, CEX.IO imposed trade fee onto the exchange, lowered maintenance costs for cloud-based GHS and added IXC/BTC trading pair. On September 22, 2014, CEX.IO announced the successful launch of the first fiat currency — US dollars are accepted via bank transfer and payment cards. This upgrade allows users to trade Bitcoins and cloud-based hashing power (GHS) as well as deposit and withdraw funds at one place without using services of another exchange. On September 29, 2014, CEX.IO established the second fiat currency, the Euro, and implemented the possibility to deposit funds via [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_Euro_Payments_Area SEPA].

	==~~Cloud Mining~~==		==Cross-Platform Trading==

	~~[[Cloud mining]] or cloud hashing is a concept, which allows users to buy mining power of the hardware placed in remote data centres.~~

	CEX.IO has been the first ever cloud mining provider working in conjunction with [[GHash.IO]] mining pool. According to CEX.IO business model, users were able to buy cloud-based GHS (mining power) to mine new Bitcoins on GHash.IO, and trade GHS on the exchange.

	In January 2015, CEX.IO suspended cloud mining services taking into consideration users’ interests, significant Bitcoin price drop and upscaling of the mining difficulty. All GHS purchased by CEX.IO remained their absolute property.

	Despite considerable Bitcoin price growth experienced in the last decade of 2015, it is still not enough for profitable Bitcoin mining, taking into account current difficulty and maintenance cost. And, provided the Bitcoin price won’t change much, there is no positive forecast for profitable mining in the nearest time.

	~~Owners of cloud-based GHS on CEX.IO are free to choose 2 options:~~

	* let CEX.IO decide the mining behaviour (where we will be monitoring the mining difficulty and Bitcoin price and switch your GHS cloud mining power depending on profitability);
	* control cloud mining at their own risk (enable on their CEX.IO Profile > GHash.io tab > Turn off Let CEX.IO Decide > Turn on cloud mining).

	CEX.IO ~~focuses~~ on ~~developing as a Bitcoin exchange with two main services~~: ~~easy Bitcoin buy~~/~~sell~~ and ~~professional Bitcoin trading~~.
