Hello! I'm glad to answer your question
at present, there are few countries in the world that issue supervision licenses for digital currency asset transactions, such as austrac license in Australia, MTR digital currency transaction / wallet license in Estonia, token license in Thailand and jvcea virtual currency transaction license in Japan
among the digital currency trading licenses in the above countries, Japan and Thailand have too high qualification requirements, and few exchanges or indivials meet the qualification requirements
Australia austrac and Estonian MTR can basically meet the qualification requirements. However, after the amendment of Estonian act on March 10, 2020, and the promulgation of the act on qualification, capital verification and local actual office space, the application cycle will be extended accordingly
at present, only ausrac in Australia is the most suitable license for digital currency asset trading license. It does not need capital verification, certificate fee and local office address. The application cycle is short and the qualification requirements are low. It can basically meet the qualification requirements. It has high international reputation and is the most cost-effective license at present. It can be considered directly
the first batch has not yet come down, and the previous trading platforms are allowed to reissue within the time cycle
but the pass rate is not 100%. Compared with other countries, the audit supervision is relatively strict
and the cycle is very long, and many platform entities have changed to other countries, For example, the United States, Estonia, Australia and so on
there are many kinds of license plates;, Today, we will introce in detail which digital currency licenses we have won the most.
the license is equivalent to a business license. In particular, after Huoyuan won the Japanese license, the US license and the Canadian license successively, the license has been pushed to a new height. Obtaining the US MSB license also means that the company can reasonably conct business in most states of the United States. This is the reason why the major exchanges have started to apply for licenses. If they want to carry out business formally and legally, they have to apply for licenses. For the exchange, the license can not only increase the trust of customers and enhance their visibility, but also make the exchange develop better and faster in compliance< br /> <
first place: US MSB
influence:
compliance:
difficulty of application:
if you want to legally carry out digital currency business in the US, you must obtain US MSB license! Fire coin, coin an, OK, Matcha and other first and second tier exchanges all got MSB, and its gold content is self-evident
second place: Singapore foundation + legal compliance opinion
influence:
compliance:
difficulty of application:
a complete Singapore compliance system is also the best choice for many project parties and exchanges
third place: Estonian MTR
influence:
compliance:
application difficulty:
Estonian is double license, digital currency license + Wallet license, so why is it ranked fourth? Because its policies change from time to time, it will be more difficult to apply at that time. The legal person will probably be spot checked and interviewed in the local area, and there are a lot of preliminary materials to be prepared. However, if you break through many obstacles and finally get the Estonian license, you will feel that everything is worth it
fourth place: MAS in Singapore
influence:
compliance:
difficulty of application:
there is no doubt that MAS license in Singapore is one of the most valuable licenses at present, but its application threshold is high and the licensing time is very long, It makes many exchanges flinch...
fifth place: austrac of Australia
influence:
compliance:
difficulty of application:
austrac has been on the sidelines because of the difficulty of application and high cost. Recently, Australia's license application policy will be relaxed. More exchanges will choose Australia's digital currency license, and the ranking will graally rise
