Bitflyer Europe plans to market its platform across the EU from its base at the Luxembourg House of Financial Technology Foundation.
Bitflyer Launches in Europe – Now Licensed on Three Continents“When I set up Bitflyer in 2014, I did so with global ambitions and the belief that approved regulatory status is fundamental to the long-term future of bitcoin and the virtual currency industry,” said Bitflyer CEO and founder, Yuzo Kano.
In Japan, Bitflyer was among the first 11 exchanges to obtain a licensefrom the Japanese Financial Services Agency (FSA) in September of last year. The exchange currently has nearly 1 million users, its website details.
The company opened up an exchange in the US in November after obtaining licenses to operate in 41 states, including New York. Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, West Virginia, and Wyoming are “coming soon,” according to its website.
