BEIJING, March 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- LightInTheBox Holding Co., Ltd. (NYSE: LITB) ("LightInTheBox" or the "Company"), today announced that it has established an experimental cryptocurrency mining operation in North America.

The Company's experimental cryptocurrency mining operation is composed of a group of powerful GPU-based specialized computers that participate in a decentralized cryptocurrency system.
