OKCoin and Huobi appear to have announced that they are only stopping CNY -> Crypto trading on October 31st, which would seem to imply crypto trading will otherwise continue. Google translate also says this "A decision is not the end, but a new start, the industry is more healthy and more compliant development of the beginning, OKCoin currency line will continue under the premise of compliance, for the customer service."

Edit: Sorry gang, that's an article from 2013. I'm trying to remove it. Really sorry.
