What is the essence of the partnership? The partnership will cover services to retail and institutional investors in the Japanese and global markets. The agreement commits FTX to comply with Japanese laws when serving local users on its platform. Based on this agreement, FTX will migrate its existing users from Japan to the Quoine trading platform starting March 30. .
What does the FTX CEO say? Despite experts’ concerns about a falling cryptocurrency market, Bankman-Fried remains bullish:
“I think we’re not entering a long-term crypto winter. There have been changes in expectations of interest rates, and that’s been moving crypto markets. But it’s been moving markets more generally as well.”
