ZeroBlock, the provider of real time news and market data for the Bitcoin ecosystem, has announced that its bitcoin trading platform will shut down on April 7, 2016.

According to a separate notice, trading platform users are being advised revoking "any API keys from your exchange service", CoinDesk reported.

ZeroBlock was founded in April, 2013 and later acquired by Blockchain. The shutting down of the trading platform is sure to raise many eyebrows. In 2014, Blockchain acquired the site RTBTC.com, a trading platform that allows users to trade across various digital-currency exchanges, intending to combine the features of RTBTC with its ZeroBlock app.

The service did not reveal any details behind this decision. Nic Cary, Blockchain co-founder, told CoinDesk that the company would continue to maintain its existing ZeroBlock mobile apps, focused on price and data.

"While we’re no longer developing the trading interface, Blockchain will continue to support and maintain the ZeroBlock apps for iOS and Android, which have very strong ratings in both app stores," he said.
