bitFlyer Launches Europe-Japan Cross-Border Trading Support
Cryptocurrency exchange bitFlyer announced the launching of a cross-border trading service in its platform, according to a press release published by the company.
The note says:
For the first time, traders in Europe will have easy access to the deep liquidity of the Japanese bitcoin market.
It is a considerable move for crypto exchanges as traders and investors didn't have the ability to trade the BTC/JPY pair if they just have euros.
Andy Bryant, COO of bitFlyer Europe, said:
The launch of bitFlyer's cross-border trading is revolutionary for the cryptocurrency industry and a huge milestone for us. Before now, it's been virtually impossible for traders with Euros to participate in the BTC/JPY trading pair without going through multiple extra steps and/or sign up processes, bringing unwanted inconvenience and delays.
As one of the biggest bitcoin markets in the world, Japan represents around 20 percent of global BTC to Fiat trading volume against the JPY.
bitFlyer consolidates its leadership in the crypto industry. After being licensed to operate in Japan, the European Union, and the United States combined, it is now also the first to support cross-border access to JPY liquidity.
Regulatory rules remain in place in all EU, and Japan customers and people who want to trade BTC/JPY in the bitFlyer platform will have the same regular rights and policies.
BTC/JPY Analysis
