Apifiny and Crypto Regulations

Partnering with different crypto exchanges could mean having to file for different regulatory licenses. When asked about the regulatory complications, Apifiny explained:

There are two parts to address here: One is when we become an exchange’s client, another is when an exchange becomes our client. When we become an exchange’s client, local regulations rather than US regulations will come into play.

Apifiny further explained that while some exchanges will avoid taking on U.S. clients, some others would. The startup explained that it tries to connect to the best crypto exchanges that are comfortable with U.S. clients.
