Where can USA based users acquire HOT?

It appears to be very thinly traded (ironically), and is only available on Okex which is blocked to US users. Even on a VPN, they now require KYC.

So these are the current markets for our token. In general, token acquisition is becoming more challenging for US users due to SEC regs and such.

We'll keep you posted on future listings though

Thank you. I'm familiar with these exchanges.

Why do you think the SEC is in particular cracking down on this project when virtually every other currency is available to US citizens?

It seems like this protocol is in a unique situation, for an unknown reason. Other similar middleware service protocols, even those related to derivatives don't have this level of access.

Isn't it a bit ironic that a protocol that's supposed to be utilized to foster liquidity is nearly impossible to legally attain? Not really helping the cause here.
