Crypto exchange Bitget is considering Lithuania as its European regional hub, reflecting its strategic expansion within the European Union.
Bitget, which already holds a virtual asset service provider license in Lithuania, plans to establish an office and hire compliance and operations personnel in the country, according to a company release.
The exchange’s efforts are part of broader preparations for the <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/mica" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">MiCA</a> framework, which aims to create a unified <a href="https://crypto.news/token-launch-in-2024-in-europe-a-compliance-checklist-opinion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">regulatory environment</a> for crypto assets across the EU. The company aims to work closely with European regulators to ensure its offerings meet regulatory standards while safeguarding user assets and data.
