Valentino Cremona, co-founder and director at AMDAX

We are very proud we have obtained this registration as the first crypto company in the Netherlands. DNB justly applies high standards for thisregistration. Bitcoin and other crypto currencies are often associated with crime, whereas Bitcoin is very transparent. The market needs clear legal frameworks, such as the set of requirements of DNB. This registration shows investors that crypto is a mature asset class, not for criminals, but for smart investors.Whereas a growing number of investors consider Bitcoin, as well as other crypto currencies as an interesting long-term investment, up until today they were operating on a market that was not regulated. In a time when traditional financial certainties are under pressure, we can offer clients a safe and reliable alternative. As aresult of this registration, the crypto domain will also be accessible for private investors and financial institutions.
