Zondacrypto Secures OTC License
in Switzerland
In
a report by Finance Magnates in
August, it was highlighted that Zondacrypto made a significant stride in its European expansion efforts by successfully acquiring
a coveted over-the-counter (OTC) license in Switzerland. The company proudly announced
its acquisition of one of the "most prestigious and difficult to obtain
licenses in Europe." This new license solidifies Zondacrypto's position as a
legitimate cryptocurrency business in Switzerland, granting it the capability to offer a comprehensive suite
of OTC services.
Zondacrypto,
based in Estonia and previously known as Zonda, offers a range of cryptocurrency
exchange services, including fiat-to-crypto and crypto-to-crypto conversions.
Its exchange platform supports four major fiat currencies (the euro, the US
dollar, the Polish zloty, and the British pound) in addition to dozens of cryptocurrencies.
The
acquisition of the Swiss license follows the receipt of a digital asset
services license in Slovakia. Additionally, the company is duly licensed in Italy and
Lithuania and has plans to obtain regulatory approvals in the UK and Canada.
Zondacrypto has been
making strides across Europe. It has established its presence in Poland. Speaking
about this latest acquisition, Zondacrypto expressed: "This is yet another
step in the direction set out by the rebranding that happened earlier this
year, when we announced the creation of our own crypto ecosystem."
"We continue
our dedication to bridging the gap between Web2 and Web3 technology, with the
help of state-of-the-art blockchain solutions
and secure, regulated crypto services."
In
addition to its regulatory approval, Zondacrypto is focusing on expanding its
product offerings. The company has plans to launch its native zondacrypto
token, although it has not disclosed a specific timeline for this initiative.
Furthermore, they intend to introduce their own exchange service, allowing
traders to buy and sell crypto and fiat directly with the company, rather than
with other users.
