Binance, the world's largest crypto-exchange has found a new partner to break through Europe.
The company, founded a year ago in Hong Kong, plans to open an office in Malta, said Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao.
In his words, the island country, which is also a large offshore area, will soon play host for crypto-trading, that will also accept fiat currencies. Binance is close to negotiating a partnership with local banks to provide consumers with a channel to invest in digital currencies directly through official currencies.
"We are confident we can announce a partnership with the banks very soon," he says, although he does not say exactly when it will become a reality.
Regulators around the world - from China to the United States - have begun to tighten the loophole around the crypto-exchanges. So finding a place to open a permanent office becomes quite difficult for crypto-businesses like Binance.
