The post Bitget Secures Bitcoin Service Provider License in El Salvador appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Bitget, a prominent global cryptocurrency exchange, has received a Bitcoin Service Provider (BSP) license in El Salvador, positioning the platform to offer a range of Bitcoin services to its customers. But that’s not all—Bitget is also aiming for a Digital Asset Service Provider license to expand beyond Bitcoin and tap into Latin America’s growing digital asset market.
Bitget Receive (BSP) license
The Central Reserve Bank of El Salvador has officially granted Bitget a Bitcoin Service Provider (BSP) license, allowing the exchange to offer a wide range of Bitcoin services in the country. This includes providing Bitcoin-to-fiat exchanges, BTC payments, and secure asset custody.
This new licensing milestone is part of Bitget’s strategy to grow its global presence, with plans to offer more services to customers in El Salvador and the wider Latin American market.
Additionally, Bitget is applying for a Digital Asset Service Provider (DASP) license from the National Commission of Digital Assets in El Salvador. This will allow Bitget to expand its offerings to include more than just Bitcoin, bringing additional digital assets into the mainstream.
Why El Salvador?
El Salvador has emerged as a beacon for cryptocurrency adoption, having made Bitcoin legal tender in 2021. Bitget recognizes the country’s potential as a hub for crypto innovation and is eager to tap into this opportunity.
According to Min Lin, Bitget’s Chief Business Officer, the platform sees El Salvador as a strategic gateway to unlock the true potential of cryptocurrency. With Latin America’s growing interest in digital assets, El Salvador stands out as a leader in financial inclusion and a driving force for real-world crypto use cases.
Furthermore, Bitget intends to establish a dedicated team in El Salvador to better serve the region and strengthen its local presence.
Bitget’s Eying Global Expansion
Bitget’s move into El Salvador is part of a broader global expansion strategy. However, the platform has also made significant strides in Europe, including securing a VASP license in Poland and aligning with the UK’s Archax to comply with local regulations.
These initiatives mark Bitget’s ongoing commitment to providing secure, compliant crypto services worldwide.
