What is Kraken's strategy for expanding its customer base geographically, particularly in the US, Europe, and beyond?
David Ripley
CEO at Kraken
We did launch first and foremost in Europe. At one point, we were the only place where you could buy Bitcoin with Euros, and it's still one of the most significant markets for us.
Since 2013, we have moved into many other geographies around the world. We serve 180 to 190+ countries today with different levels of service.
Do we support the local fiat currency? Euro is one. We also support the British Pound and the Swiss Franc in that broader region of Europe.
North America is another market where we have a significant presence. We’ve been in the US and Canada for a number of years. We also have many growth regions such as Japan, Australia, and the UAE where we're building a greater presence.
