Initially, the trading platform is going to target customers in the European Union. The joint venture also plans to expand the digital trading services to other markets as well. However, it’s explicitly noted that the future trading platform will only service regions and countries which are qualified, based on the applicable restrictions and international laws.
It’s clear that a strong emphasis is placed on regulatory transparency. Itai Avnery, spokesman and co-founder of the partnership, noted:
We believe that excellent product experience coupled with supreme customer support, value added services and regulation state of mind will provide the community of traders with the ultimate platform to trade cryptocurrency in a safe and secure environment. Our goal is to become the most reputable platform in the EU and later in numerous countries across the globe.
