Amber Group pridobi storitev DeCurret za izmenjavo kriptovalut z licenco FSA

Amber Group, platforma za digitalno premoženje, je objavila prevzem DeCurret Inc., kriptovalute z japonsko licenco, je družba objavila v torek. Prevzem je pod hčerinsko družbo Amber Group WhaleFin Japan.

Glede na objavo, prevzem pomeni prvi prodor skupine Amber na japonski trg digitalnih sredstev. Družba pravi, da njeni načrti temeljijo na regulativnem položaju DeCurreta v državi, da bi "odklenili potencial japonskega kripto trga".

Z več kot 5 milijardami dolarjev sredstev v upravljanju (AUM) je podjetje tudi izjavilo, da namerava "katalizirati" prevzem kripto sredstev na Japonskem, ki presega dobiček, zabeležen leta 2021.

DeCurret is one of 30 licensed crypto-asset exchange service providers (CAESP) by Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA). Launched back in 2018, DeCurret is backed by leading financial and technology-based corporations in the country including the Internet Initiative of Japan (IIJ). The company is also part of Japan’s central bank digital currency (CBDC) projektni projekt.

Amber’s acquisition of DeCurret also comes as Japanese crypto exchanges continue to deal with the cost of compliance associated with regulatory protocols in the country. In April last year, the FSA navedla that it planned to begin enforcing the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) travel rule by April 2022.
