Huobi Group is not only the exchange that is trying to use strategy so as to enhance the business in the market, other exchanges such as Bittrex, Binance and others are operating so as to develop subsidiaries which will be independent of others in the emerging market like that of Uganda or funding local exchanges, similar to what Bittrex did with VALR a South African exchange.
