Bitstamp Moves to Luxembourg, Becomes First Nationally-Licensed Exchange

Mon Apr 25, 2016 4:36 pm

Bitstamp has relocated its headquarters to Luxembourg, where it has received a national Payment Institution license. Bitstamp says this makes them the first nationally regulated exchange in the world, whereas other licensed exchanges just have a handful of licenses in various US states. What do you guys think about this news?
