Apifiny: The Single Window for Crypto Trading
The blockchain startup, Apifiny, connects the entire global crypto exchanges, offering a single market window to all traders. Via Apifiny, U.S.-based traders can access foreign crypto exchanges and claim the best offers available across globally connected exchanges.
Currently, there are 24 registered crypto exchanges on Apifiny. 10 of these exchanges were added in the last 3 months, as the startup continues to aggressively expand.
Some of the major exchange partners currently on Apifiny are Huobi Global, OKEx, Kucoin, BitMax, and HBTC. Apifiny also supports spot exchanges with plans to add derivatives exchanges in the coming days.
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.
